Oakland Athletics
T.J. McFarland has thrown 8,925 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2013 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (88mph) and Slider (78mph), also mixing in a Change using a Circle Change grip (81mph). He also rarely throws a Cutter (82mph).
In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slightly below average velo. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and has below average velo. Their change using a circle change grip (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2024) dives down out of the zone, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2024) comes in below hitting speed, has heavy sink, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action.
