MLBhitter vs arsenal

+9 pts

Zach Neto is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 40% of the time against the kind of pitches Joey Cantillo throws, compared with 31% against everyone else — 9 points worse. The reason is the curveball: Joey Cantillo throws it 30% of the time, and Zach Neto strikes out 62% of the time against it across 37 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
