STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Tuesday, September 22, 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 7% of the time against the kind of pitches Sean Manaea throws, compared with 14% against everyone else — 7 points better. The reason is the sinker: Sean Manaea throws it 19% of the time, and Cody Freeman strikes out 0% of the time against it across 18 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 57% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
