Nick Pivetta has thrown 22,064 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph), also mixing in a Curve (80mph), Slider (83mph) and Cutter (91mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (94mph) and Splitter (87mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has much less armside movement than typical, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slightly above average velo and has some added backspin. Their curve has an exceptional bite, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their slider sweeps across the zone and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their cutter has extreme cut action, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters and has well above average velo. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, has little sinking action compared to a true sinker and has slightly above average velo. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters, is much firmer than usual and has movement that suggests a lot of backspin.
