MLBhitter vs arsenal

+18 pts

Eduardo Valencia is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 46% of the time against the kind of pitches Gabriel Hughes throws, compared with 27% against everyone else — 18 points worse. The reason is the four-seam fb: Gabriel Hughes throws it 53% of the time, and Eduardo Valencia strikes out 46% of the time against it across 28 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 65% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
