Hedges is 0-for-10 lifetime against Merrill Kelly with a 0.000 OPS across PA spanning 2019 and 2020. This is the strongest batter-vs-pitcher signal in the data — a meaningful sample with zero contact across multiple seasons. Kelly is the confirmed starter. Hedges is also hitting just .277 on the season but his L7d OPS is .334, indicating current cold spot. Under 0.5 hits at -122 is backed by one of the most decisive career matchup records on the board.

Hedges is 0-for-4 lifetime against McClanahan (.000 AVG, 0.250 OPS — that lone positive likely a walk). Season slash of .202/.257/.313 makes him one of the weakest bats in either lineup. McClanahan carries a 3.16 ERA and 8.4 K/9 at home in a pitcher-friendly dome with a 0.96 runs factor. Hedges is typically a late-inning defensive replacement or catcher spot who has historically struggled against lefties (vL: 0.515 OPS). The career data plus the season context points firmly under.

Hedges is 0-for in 11 career PA vs deGrom with a .000 AVG and 0.182 OPS — the .182 represents walks, zero hits. He is a backup catcher with a .174 season average and .232 OBP, one of the weakest bats in this lineup. deGrom's 10.76 K/9 and 20 BB in 88.2 IP (elite command) overwhelmingly suppresses a hitter of Hedges' profile. Career and current form both point hard at under.
