MLBhitter vs arsenal

+9 pts

Nick Yorke is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 30% of the time against the kind of pitches Blade Tidwell throws, compared with 21% against everyone else — 9 points worse. The reason is the sweeper: Blade Tidwell throws it 36% of the time, and Nick Yorke strikes out 44% of the time against it across 9 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
