San Diego Padres
Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Paco Rodríguez threw 1,424 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2012 and 2019, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2019, they relied primarily on their Slider (81mph), Cutter (88mph) and Sinker (90mph).
In 2019, compared to other LHP:
Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2019) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2019) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has well above average velo and has strong cutting action. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2019) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has some natural sinking action.
