-6 pts

STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Saturday, October 3, 2026

Carson Williams 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 26% of the time against the kind of pitches Gerrit Cole throws, compared with 33% against everyone else — 6 points better. The reason is the four-seam fb: Gerrit Cole throws it 49% of the time, and Carson Williams strikes out 20% 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 62% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
