Burch Smith has thrown 3,769 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2013 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (95mph) and Cutter (88mph), also mixing in a Curve using a Knuckle Curve grip (80mph).

In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical and has slightly above average velo. Their cutter has heavy sink, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action. Their curve using a knuckle curve grip has an exceptional bite, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves and is slightly harder than usual. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has below average velo. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2024) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has less armside run than typical. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it.
