Cristopher Sánchez brings exactly that profile against WSH. The changeup (45.3% whiff) is the put-away offering when he needs it.

The slider (31.3% whiff) is the put-away offering when he needs it. ## Honorable Mentions - **Landen Roupp** (SF) vs ATH — 10.00 K/9, 27.0% whiff, 4.15 ERA, 89 K - **Kevin Gausman** (TOR) vs TEX — 9.00 K/9, 28.1% whiff, 4.04 ERA, 89 K - **MacKenzie Gore** (TEX) vs TOR — 9.86 K/9, 25.7% whiff, 4.07 ERA, 92 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.
