Positive Match Player Stats for Pirates vs Rockies Series Game 2 Matchup Today

Austin Gomber’s high utilization percentage of his secondary pitches (64.3% this year) figures to work in his favor consider they are typically much more effective than fastballs.

Austin Gomber has suffered from bad luck when it comes to his strikeouts this year, compiling a 5.12 K/9 despite the leading projection system (THE BAT) estimating his true talent level to be 6.33 — a 1.21 K/9 difference.

Paul Skenes projects as the 6th-best pitcher in MLB currently when estimating his strikeout skill, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).

Paul Skenes has averaged 94.3 adjusted pitches per game per started this year, ranking in the 89th percentile.

In his last outing, Paul Skenes was in good form and notched 7 strikeouts.

Paul Skenes’s change-up usage has risen by 21.3% from last season to this one (5.4% to 26.7%) .

With a 1.04 gap between Paul Skenes’s 9.88 K/9 and his 10.92 estimated true talent K/9 (via the leading projection system, THE BAT), it’s safe to say he’s been one of the least fortunate pitchers in Major League Baseball this year in terms of strikeouts and should positively regress the rest of the season.

Negative Match Player Stats with Pirates vs Rockies Series Game 2

The leading projection system (THE BAT) forecasts Austin Gomber in the 5th percentile when assessing his strikeout skill.

Tallying 81.3 adjusted pitches per start this year on average, Austin Gomber falls in the 21st percentile.

The leading projection system (THE BAT) profiles Coors Field as the worst stadium in baseball for strikeouts.

Built 5197 feet above sea level, Coors Field has the highest altitude among all major league stadiums, which usually leads (as a rule of thumb) to more offense.

The weather forecast calls for temperatures in this contest to reach the 3rd-highest level on the schedule today at 88°, which is highly linked to an increase in offense (and a reduction in strikeouts).

Paul Skenes’s fastball velocity has dropped 1.4 mph this year (97.5 mph) below where it was last year (98.9 mph).

Paul Skenes’s 2227-rpm fastball spin rate this year grades out in the 20th percentile among all starting pitchers.
