MLBhitter vs arsenal

+12 pts

Taylor Walls is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 36% of the time against the kind of pitches Casey Mize throws, compared with 24% against everyone else — 12 points worse. The reason is the splitter: Casey Mize throws it 24% of the time, and Taylor Walls strikes out 64% of the time against it across 11 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
