A.J. Ewing 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 17% of the time against the kind of pitches Kyle Harrison throws, compared with 26% against everyone else — 9 points better. The reason is the four-seam fb: Kyle Harrison throws it 58% of the time, and A.J. Ewing strikes out 17% of the time against it across 106 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 58% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
