MLBhitter vs arsenal
+9 pts
STRIKES OUT MORE
Published Saturday, September 26, 2026
Konnor Griffin is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 34% of the time against the kind of pitches Justin Verlander throws, compared with 25% against everyone else — 9 points worse. The reason is the four-seam fb: Justin Verlander throws it 43% of the time, and Konnor Griffin strikes out 38% of the time against it across 74 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
