MLBhitter vs arsenal
+12 pts
STRIKES OUT MORE
Published Wednesday, September 16, 2026
Pedro Ramírez is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 31% of the time against the kind of pitches JR Ritchie throws, compared with 19% against everyone else — 12 points worse. The reason is the curveball: JR Ritchie throws it 27% of the time, and Pedro Ramírez strikes out 58% of the time against it across 12 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
