+12 pts
STRIKES OUT MORE
Published Saturday, September 19, 2026
Ezequiel Tovar is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 38% of the time against the kind of pitches Bryce Miller throws, compared with 26% against everyone else — 12 points worse. The reason is the splitter: Bryce Miller throws it 24% of the time, and Ezequiel Tovar strikes out 50% of the time against it across 8 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 74% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
