MLBhitter vs arsenal

+7 pts

Michael Harris II is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 27% of the time against the kind of pitches Aaron Nola throws, compared with 20% against everyone else — 7 points worse. The reason is the knuckle curve: Aaron Nola throws it 33% of the time, and Michael Harris II strikes out 50% of the time against it across 10 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
