+12 pts
Eric Wagaman is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 35% of the time against the kind of pitches Jacob Misiorowski throws, compared with 23% against everyone else — 12 points worse. The reason is the four-seam fb: Jacob Misiorowski throws it 64% of the time, and Eric Wagaman strikes out 35% of the time against it across 17 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 64% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
