MLBhitter vs arsenal

+10 pts

Junior Caminero is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 28% of the time against the kind of pitches Shane Baz throws, compared with 19% against everyone else — 10 points worse. The reason is the knuckle curve: Shane Baz throws it 33% of the time, and Junior Caminero strikes out 46% of the time against it across 13 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
