MLBhitter vs arsenal

+14 pts

Cam Cauley is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 37% of the time against the kind of pitches Jacob Lopez throws, compared with 23% against everyone else — 14 points worse. The reason is the slider: Jacob Lopez throws it 34% of the time, and Cam Cauley 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. Based on 68% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
