MIA is the canvas. The changeup (42.9% whiff) is the put-away offering when he needs it. The 10.73 K/9 is the season-long anchor. > **Dig deeper into pitcher arsenals** on the [Pitching Stats dashboard](/mlb/pitching-stats) — see pitch mix, whiff rates, and velocity for every starter. ## Pick 2: José Soriano — LAA vs BAL RHP | 98 K on season | Angel Stadium *98 K · 9.59 K/9 · 33.4% whiff · 3.03 ERA · 1.27 WHIP · 22.0% opp K rate* When swings result in whiffs at this rate (33.4%), Ks follow. José Soriano brings exactly that profile against BAL. The curveball (45.4% whiff) is the put-away offering when he needs it. The 9.59 K/9 is the season-long anchor. ## Pick 3: Shohei Ohtani — LAD vs MIN RHP | 78 K on season | Target Field *78 K · 9.59 K/9 · 29.6% whiff · 1.47 ERA · 0.88 WHIP · 22.0% opp K rate* Shohei Ohtani's sweeper is a put-away pitch — a 36.7% whiff rate on the season. He throws it 30% of the time, which means MIN's hitters see it constantly. The 29.6% whiff rate underneath confirms the stuff is real, not BABIP-fueled. The 9.59 K/9 is the season-long anchor. ## Honorable Mentions - **Joe Ryan** (MIN) vs LAD — 10.23 K/9, 25.3% whiff, 2.99 ERA, 99 K - **Braxton Ashcraft** (PIT) vs SEA — 9.68 K/9, 27.1% whiff, 3.18 ERA, 97 K - **Nolan McLean** (NYM) vs CHC — 10.51 K/9, 24.4% whiff, 3.67 ERA, 97 K ## Related Guides - [MLB Stats Explained](/blog/mlb-stats-explained) - [Hitter vs Pitcher Matchup Guide](/blog/hitter-vs-pitcher-matchup-guide) - [MLB Weather Betting Guide](/blog/mlb-weather-betting-guide) ## Before You Lock Check the [Pitching Stats dashboard](/mlb/pitching-stats) for full arsenal breakdowns and the [Hitting Stats page](/mlb/hitting-stats) for pitch mix analysis showing which lineups are most vulnerable to certain pitch types.
