-11 pts

STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Friday, September 25, 2026

Alika Williams is a safer bet to put the ball in play tonight than he usually is, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 11% of the time against the kind of pitches Hunter Brown throws, compared with 22% against everyone else — 11 points better. The reason is the sinker: Hunter Brown throws it 31% of the time, and Alika Williams strikes out 10% of the time against it across 50 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 61% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
