Colton Cowser is a safer bet to put the ball in play tonight than he usually is, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 24% of the time against the kind of pitches Jake Bennett throws, compared with 30% against everyone else — 6 points better. The reason is the four-seam fb: Jake Bennett throws it 34% of the time, and Colton Cowser strikes out 21% of the time against it across 100 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
