MLBhitter vs arsenal

+9 pts

Braxton Fulford is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 48% of the time against the kind of pitches Andrew Alvarez throws, compared with 39% against everyone else — 9 points worse. The reason is the curveball: Andrew Alvarez throws it 31% of the time, and Braxton Fulford strikes out 60% of the time against it across 10 plate appearances.
