Blake Snell

Scouting Profile

Blake Snell profiles as a high-octane, high-variance power arm. His 11.5 K/9 sits in the top 5% of tracked MLB starters (95th percentile), backed by a 118 Stuff+ that reads as elite raw pitch quality. Command grades at the 1st percentile (4.5 BB/9), shaky command, over a 5.5-inning average workload. Within the LAD rotation he grades as the 2nd arm by strikeout rate.

2026 Strikeout Prop Outlook

For strikeout props the baseline lands near 7.0 Ks, but the daily number moves with the matchup: a lineup that whiffs more than average against left-handers pushes it up, a contact-heavy one pulls it down — the L3 opponent split is the single largest swing. Cold air and a pitcher-friendly park add roughly 0.4–0.9 K; a hitter’s park trims the ERA side. The shorter 5.5-inning workload caps counting-stat upside even on high-whiff days.
