Washington Nationals
Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2025, Richard Bleier threw 5,233 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2016 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2024, they relied primarily on their Sinker (87mph) and Cutter (85mph), also mixing in a Slider (77mph) and Change (81mph). He also rarely threw a Fourseam Fastball (87mph).
In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, has surprisingly little armside run and has below average velo. Their cutter has heavy sink and has strong cutting action. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has short glove-side cut. Their change is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2024) comes in below hitting speed, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has less armside movement than typical.
