MLBhitter vs arsenal

-6 pts

STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Thursday, September 24, 2026

Ben Williamson 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 12% of the time against the kind of pitches Cam Schlittler throws, compared with 18% against everyone else — 6 points better. The reason is the cutter: Cam Schlittler throws it 25% of the time, and Ben Williamson strikes out 8% of the time against it across 25 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
