+9 pts
STRIKES OUT MORE
Published Tuesday, September 15, 2026
Victor Scott II is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 32% of the time against the kind of pitches Blade Tidwell throws, compared with 24% against everyone else — 9 points worse. The reason is the sweeper: Blade Tidwell throws it 34% of the time, and Victor Scott II strikes out 53% of the time against it across 19 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
