Baseball strikeout question.

Lets assume we have an 6 foot tall, right handed, 18 year old high school senior. His fastball is clocked between 83 and 87 mph with slight movement. He throws a decent curveball, and deceptive changeup. He hits his target 75% of the time.

If he faces Alex Rodriquez 100 times in June (under the same conditions everytime), how many times does he strike him out?

So, a kid with a slow fastball and average control is pitching to A-Rod. After 100 AB's A-Rod is unlikely to have struck out at all. And neither would Ichiro or 100 other hitters.
