Athletics @ Arizona Diamondbacks · Wednesday, Jul 22, 2026
Oakland has a handful of prior looks at Merrill Kelly, though most of the sample sizes are just three at-bats. Carlos Cortes has the best line, going 2-for-3 with a 2.000 OPS, while Lawrence Butler is 1-for-3 with a 1.666 OPS. Jacob Wilson and Donovan Walton are each 1-for-3 with a .333 average and .666 OPS. Tyler Soderstrom, Shea Langeliers, and Jeff McNeil are all hitless in 3 at-bats apiece, with 0-for-3 summaries and .000 OPS marks, while Tommy White and Jonah Heim have no MLB history vs that pitcher.
Arizona’s lineup has no MLB history at all against Gage Jump. Ketel Marte, Geraldo Perdomo, Corbin Carroll, Gabriel Moreno, Nolan Arenado, Ildemaro Vargas, James McCann, Tim Tawa, and Ryan Waldschmidt have no MLB history vs that pitcher.
The Athletics clearly bring more familiarity into this matchup, even if it is limited and mostly based on three-at-bat samples. The Diamondbacks are facing Jump without any prior MLB batter-versus-pitcher history in the lineup.
