MLBhitter vs arsenal
-9 pts
STRIKES OUT LESS
Published Friday, September 18, 2026
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 22% of the time against the kind of pitches Dustin May throws, compared with 31% against everyone else — 9 points better. The reason is the cutter: Dustin May throws it 24% 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.
