Last scored matchup

Isiah isn't on today's slate. He was last scored 11 days ago, at home against Chicago Cubs on Sunday, September 27, 2026, where he landed on singles (24.4/100), runs (21.4/100), hits (18/100). This page refreshes with new projections as soon as he's back in a lineup.

He's in a cold stretch

Isiah is 2-for-23 (.087) across his last 10 games, down from .253 on the season. Slumps this size are mostly noise at this sample — 23 at-bats is a fortnight, not a trend — and the model treats it that way, discounting the cold run rather than writing him off. If the matchup underneath is good, he'll still grade well here. That's a feature, and sometimes it's wrong.

What kind of hitter he is

Isiah puts the ball in play — 22 strikeouts in 150 at-bats, about 15% of the time. Contact hitters carry their value on the hits board rather than the power boards, and they're less matchup-dependent than sluggers: a strikeout arm hurts him less than it hurts a hitter who sells out for damage. He's also run — 8 stolen bases — which shows up on the steals board.

He's a right-handed bat

Isiah hits from the right side, so the platoon math runs the other way from a lefty's. Right-handed bats face right-handed pitching most of the time, meaning his baseline is built against the harder side and a left-handed starter is the upgrade. That's why a righty's score can jump on a day nothing else about the matchup changed. The model weighs his rates against the specific handedness he's drawing rather than a blended season number, which is where a lot of the day-to-day movement in his score comes from.

Floor and ceiling

Isiah has recorded at least one hit in 28 of 49 games he's batted in — 57% — with 9 multi-hit games among them. That's a boom-or-bust profile. He'll carry a game outright and then go quiet for three, so his hits-board score tends to sit below hitters with worse power and better contact.

Home and away

Isiah is hitting .247 at home (20-for-81) and .261 on the road (18-for-69) across the season. There's not much in it, which is the normal case. Home-road splits get talked about far more than they hold up.

No graded record on him yet

We haven't ranked Isiah a top-20 hitter matchup often enough this season to have a record worth publishing — 2 times so far. He's appeared in 60 graded games, so the log below is real; there just isn't a track record on our calls to show. It'll build here if the matchups start landing his way.

Where he lands across our boards

Isiah was scored on 12 boards in that matchup, and the spread is the interesting part: singles graded 24.4/100 while walks came in at 0/100. Same player, same game, same opposing arm — different questions. A spread that wide usually means the matchup favours one kind of outcome over another, and it's the clearest argument for reading the board that matches what you actually care about.

How the model reads him

Isiah's score rates the spot in front of him, not the name on the jersey. It weighs his rates against the kind of arm he's facing — handedness matters a lot — set against what that pitcher and his bullpen give up, then adjusts for expected playing time, park, weather, and recent form, normalized 0–100 across the slate. The weighting is proprietary and re-tuned weekly; the grading is public, and that's the half that proves anything.

What we'd flag

Books don't price every player — coverage tops out around 87% even for confirmed starters, so "no line" here usually means no book posted one rather than a gap in our data. Lineups change late, and an afternoon projection can be stale by first pitch. And the model is tuned across hundreds of graded outcomes, so one game tells you nothing about whether it's working. For Isiah specifically, we don't have a meaningful graded record on him yet.
