Lars Nootbaar (STL) vs Joe Ryan (RHP) 0.600 AVG, 1.867 OPS in 5 career AB | Target Field | **1+ Hit (-188)** *Career: 3-for-5 · .600 · 1 HR · 1 XBH · 1.867 OPS* Nootbaar is 3-for-5 (.600) lifetime against Ryan. He sees this pitcher well and the at-bats keep coming back as hits. Tiny sample — treat as directional, not definitive. A home run every 5 at-bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Currently listed at 1+ Hit (-188). ## 2. Gunnar Henderson (BAL) vs Griffin Canning (RHP) 0.500 AVG, 1.569 OPS in 8 career AB | Oriole Park at Camden Yards | **1+ Hit (-269)** *Career: 4-for-8 · .500 · 1 HR · 2 XBH · 1.569 OPS · 1 K* Henderson's slash line against Canning translates to a 1.569 OPS over 8 AB. That is the kind of split that turns a prop into a play. Small sample, but the dominance is notable. A home run every 8 at-bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Only 1 strikeout in 8 AB shows the eye is dialed in here. ## 3. Pete Crow-Armstrong (CHC) vs Landen Roupp (RHP) 0.400 AVG, 1.400 OPS in 5 career AB | Oracle Park | **1+ Hit (-223)** *Career: 2-for-5 · .400 · 1 HR · 1 XBH · 1.400 OPS* Career batting average against Roupp: .400 in 5 AB. Crow-Armstrong has the kind of pitch recognition on this arm that does not show up against the rest of the league. Tiny sample — treat as directional, not definitive. A home run every 5 at-bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Currently listed at 1+ Hit (-223). > Look up any pitcher vs batter career history on the [Hitter vs Pitcher dashboard](/mlb/hitting-stats). ## 4. Michael Conforto (CHC) vs Landen Roupp (RHP) 0.667 AVG, 1.547 OPS in 6 career AB | Oracle Park *Career: 4-for-6 · .667 · 1 XBH · 1.547 OPS · 1 K · 1 BB* When OPS hits 1.547 in a career H2H sample, you take it seriously. Conforto is 4-for-6 against Roupp with the kind of contact that drives runs. Small sample, but the dominance is notable. ## 5. Tyler O'Neill (BAL) vs Griffin Canning (RHP) 0.333 AVG, 1.166 OPS in 6 career AB | Oriole Park at Camden Yards *Career: 2-for-6 · .333 · 1 HR · 1 XBH · 1.166 OPS · 1 K* O'Neill's slash line against Canning translates to a 1.166 OPS over 6 AB.

Matt Vierling (DET) vs Tanner Bibee (RHP) 0.273 AVG, 1.104 OPS in 11 career AB | Progressive Field | **1+ Hit (-142)** *Career: 3-for-11 · .273 · 2 HR · 2 XBH · 1.104 OPS · 1 K* A 1.104 career OPS against a single pitcher is rare — and Vierling owns it against Bibee across 11 at-bats. That is run-producing dominance, not noise. Moderate sample — a real pattern is emerging. A home run every 6 at-bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Only 1 strikeout in 11 AB shows the eye is dialed in here. ## 7. Rhys Hoskins (CLE) vs Jack Flaherty (RHP) 0.222 AVG, 1.189 OPS in 9 career AB | Progressive Field *Career: 2-for-9 · .222 · 2 HR · 2 XBH · 1.189 OPS · 3 K · 1 BB* Hoskins's slash line against Flaherty translates to a 1.189 OPS over 9 AB.
