San Diego Padres
Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Fernando Rodriguez Jr. threw 4,050 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2009 and 2016, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2016, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph) and Cutter (89mph), also mixing in a Curve (79mph). He also rarely threw a Change (88mph), Sinker (92mph) and Slider (78mph).
In 2016, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their cutter generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has heavy sink, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action. Their curve is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement and has a sharp downward bite. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2016) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, is much firmer than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight cut action and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2016) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2016) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders.
