MLBhitter vs arsenal
+9 pts
STRIKES OUT MORE
Published Tuesday, September 22, 2026
Gabriel Arias is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 50% of the time against the kind of pitches Janson Junk throws, compared with 41% against everyone else — 9 points worse. The reason is the changeup: Janson Junk throws it 18% of the time, and Gabriel Arias strikes out 62% of the time against it across 13 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
