Kyle Hendricks has thrown 24,339 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2014 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Change (81mph), Sinker (88mph) and Fourseam Fastball (88mph), also mixing in a Curve (74mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has below average velo and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 19 of them in 2024) is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their fourseam fastball comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has sweeping glove-side movement, has below average velo, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite.
