MLBhitter vs arsenal

+8 pts

Christian Encarnacion-Strand is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 33% of the time against the kind of pitches Freddy Peralta throws, compared with 25% against everyone else — 8 points worse. The reason is the four-seam fb: Freddy Peralta throws it 54% of the time, and Christian Encarnacion-Strand strikes out 32% 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. Based on 75% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
