Positive Match Player Stats for Blue Jays vs Mets Series Game 2 Matchup Today

The #3 stadium in the majors for boosting strikeouts, via the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Citi Field.

Citi Field’s elevation is near sea-level, one of the lowest in the league, which often leads to worse offense.

Contrary to popular belief, fastballs are typically a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Griffin Canning must realize this, because he has relied on his off-speed and breaking balls a lot since the start of last season: 61.7% of the time, checking in at the 86th percentile.

Griffin Canning has suffered from bad luck when it comes to his strikeouts since the start of last season, posting a 6.80 K/9 despite the leading projection system (THE BAT) estimating his true talent level to be 7.77 — a 0.97 K/9 deviation.

Compared to the average starter, Chris Bassitt has been given more leash than the average pitcher since the start of last season, recording an extra 6.9 adjusted pitches each start.

Chris Bassitt was rolling in his last outing and put up 7 strikeouts.

Among all starters, Griffin Canning’s fastball spin rate of 2120.3 rpm grades out in the 11th percentile since the start of last season.

Griffin Canning has compiled a 19% strikeout rate since the start of last season, grading out in the 22nd percentile.

Given the 0.77 difference between Chris Bassitt’s 8.90 K/9 and his 8.13 estimated true talent K/9 (via the leading projection system, THE BAT), it’s safe to say he’s been one of the luckiest pitchers in baseball since the start of last season as it relates to strikeouts and figures to perform worse going forward.

Chris Bassitt has recorded an 8.8% Swinging Strike rate since the start of last season, ranking in the 17th percentile.
