-9 pts

STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Wednesday, September 16, 2026

Cody Freeman 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 5% of the time against the kind of pitches Jake Bennett throws, compared with 14% against everyone else — 9 points better. The reason is the changeup: Jake Bennett throws it 26% of the time, and Cody Freeman strikes out 0% of the time against it across 10 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
