MLBhitter vs arsenal
+8 pts
STRIKES OUT MORE
Published Friday, September 25, 2026
Zack Gelof 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 Hunter Brown throws, compared with 25% against everyone else — 8 points worse. The reason is the knuckle curve: Hunter Brown throws it 19% of the time, and Zack Gelof strikes out 67% of the time against it across 12 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
