Negative Match Player Stats with Cubs vs Padres Series Game 3

Nick Pivetta’s 92.6-mph velocity on his fastball this year is a big 1.3-mph decrease from last season’s 93.9-mph mark.

Nick Pivetta’s higher utilization rate of his fastball this season (55.3 vs. 48.2% last season) is not ideal consider they are typically much less effective than breaking or off-speed pitches.

Considering the 0.61 discrepancy between Nick Pivetta’s 10.52 K/9 and his 9.91 estimated true talent K/9 (via the leading projection system, THE BAT), it’s safe to say he’s been one of the most fortunate pitchers in baseball since the start of last season when it comes to strikeouts and should perform worse in future games.
