Chicago White Sox Insights
- Erick Fedde – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)Erick Fedde has posted a 7.2% Swinging Strike% since the start of last season, placing in the 4th percentile.Explain: Swinging Strike% measures how often a pitcher gets a batter to whiff at a pitch and is regarded to be a strong indicator of strikeout ability and overall pitching talent.
- Everson Pereira – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-135/+105)Everson Pereira has big-time power (79th percentile) if he makes contact, but that’s usually a big “IF” (33.1% K%). Today, however, opposing pitcher Janson Junk doesn’t generate many whiffs (5th percentile K%) — great news for Pereira.Explain: If he is less likely to strikeout, he’ll be more likely to make contact, which is often hard, home-run contact.
- Erick Fedde – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)Edgar Quero, the White Sox’s expected catcher in today’s game, projects as a horrible pitch framer according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).Explain: Pitch framing is a catcher’s ability to make a ball look like a strike to the umpire, “stealing” strikes for his pitcher. This leads to more positive outcomes (like strikeouts) and fewer negative ones (like walks or earned runs).
