Michael Kelly has thrown 2,545 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Slider (84mph), Cutter (90mph) and Fourseam Fastball (96mph), also mixing in a Change (90mph) and Sinker (95mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their slider sweeps across the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their cutter 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, has slightly above average velo and has strong cutting action. Their fourseam fastball is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has well above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2026) is thrown extremely hard, 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 cut action. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo, has slight armside run and has some natural sinking action.
