MLBhitter vs arsenal

+11 pts

Zack Gelof is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 36% of the time against the kind of pitches José Soriano throws, compared with 25% against everyone else — 11 points worse. The reason is the knuckle curve: José Soriano throws it 26% of the time, and Zack Gelof strikes out 64% of the time against it across 11 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
