-11 pts

STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Wednesday, October 7, 2026

Hyeseong Kim 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 13% of the time against the kind of pitches Tyler Mahle throws, compared with 24% against everyone else — 11 points better. The reason is the four-seam fb: Tyler Mahle throws it 48% of the time, and Hyeseong Kim strikes out 13% of the time against it across 30 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 63% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
