Besides being an excelelnt pitcher, Hudson is one that throwes strikes.
If you look at the spilts, you best chance of hitting him is on the first pitch, or after he has fallen behind.
Letting strikes go by is death to a pitcher like Hudson, as the strikes will get more marginal the more favourable the pitching count.
