Nick Lodolo

Scouting Profile

Nick Lodolo profiles as a prototypical power strikeout starter. His 10 K/9 sits in the upper tier of the league (78th percentile), backed by a 110 Stuff+ that reads as above-average stuff. Command grades at the 30th percentile (3 BB/9), average control, over a 5.8-inning average workload. Within the CIN rotation he grades as the 2nd arm by strikeout rate.

2026 Strikeout Prop Outlook

For strikeout props the baseline lands near 6.4 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. A steady 5.8-inning workload gives the counting stats room to accumulate.
