Jase Bowen 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 28% of the time against the kind of pitches Bubba Chandler throws, compared with 37% against everyone else — 8 points better. The reason is the four-seam fb: Bubba Chandler throws it 49% of the time, and Jase Bowen strikes out 18% of the time against it across 28 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
