+11 pts
Eric Wagaman 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 Kyle Harrison throws, compared with 22% against everyone else — 11 points worse. The reason is the four-seam fb: Kyle Harrison throws it 58% of the time, and Eric Wagaman strikes out 33% of the time against it across 15 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 58% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
