Juan Brito 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 17% of the time against the kind of pitches Robert Gasser throws, compared with 29% against everyone else — 11 points better. The reason is the sinker: Robert Gasser throws it 23% of the time, and Juan Brito strikes out 0% of the time against it across 9 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 65% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
