Daniel Schneemann 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 18% of the time against the kind of pitches Framber Valdez throws, compared with 29% against everyone else — 11 points better. The reason is the sinker: Framber Valdez throws it 45% of the time, and Daniel Schneemann strikes out 14% of the time against it across 42 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
