MLBhitter vs arsenal

+7 pts

STRIKES OUT MORE

Published Sunday, October 4, 2026

Ha-Seong Kim is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 33% of the time against the kind of pitches Blake Snell throws, compared with 26% against everyone else — 7 points worse. The reason is the four-seam fb: Blake Snell throws it 50% of the time, and Ha-Seong Kim strikes out 40% of the time against it across 53 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 78% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
