+20 pts
Joshua Báez is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 57% of the time against the kind of pitches Trevor Rogers throws, compared with 37% against everyone else — 20 points worse. The reason is the four-seam fb: Trevor Rogers throws it 46% of the time, and Joshua Báez strikes out 60% of the time against it across 10 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 68% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
