Randy Arozarena vs Gavin Williams
Platoon edge to the pitcher
Updated Jul 20, 2026
The Almanac's Take
Arozarena against Williams is a same-handed matchup with no platoon edge for the batter. The season read is the anchor here: Arozarena is hitting .281/.352/.448 with 11 home runs and an .800 OPS across 372 plate appearances, a legitimately solid line, while Williams counters with a 4.00 ERA, 10.9 K/9, and a 3.92 K/BB ratio over 119.1 innings — a pitcher who misses bats and limits walks. The head-to-head is just 14 PA, far too thin to draw conclusions, though Arozarena's 86.8 mph average exit velocity in those meetings aligns with a pitcher who's been genuinely tough to square up this season.
Career head-to-head
Career meetings in the Statcast era (2015–present). Even a clear edge over a handful of plate appearances is a small sample — read it as color, not a projection.
