MLBhitter vs arsenal
-5 pts
STRIKES OUT LESS
Published Monday, October 12, 2026
David Fry 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 23% of the time against the kind of pitches Drew Rasmussen throws, compared with 28% against everyone else — 5 points better. The reason is the cutter: Drew Rasmussen throws it 29% of the time, and David Fry strikes out 16% of the time against it across 19 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
