STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Thursday, September 17, 2026

Colson Montgomery is a safer bet to put the ball in play tonight than he usually is, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 28% of the time against the kind of pitches Framber Valdez throws, compared with 35% against everyone else — 7 points better. The reason is the sinker: Framber Valdez throws it 45% of the time, and Colson Montgomery strikes out 24% of the time against it across 93 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
