MLBhitter vs arsenal

-11 pts

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 19% of the time against the kind of pitches Jonah Tong throws, compared with 31% against everyone else — 11 points better. The reason is the cutter: Jonah Tong throws it 21% of the time, and Colton Cowser strikes out 4% of the time against it across 23 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
