San Diego Padres
Nick Pivetta has thrown 20,045 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph) and Curve (79mph), also mixing in a Slider (82mph) and Cutter (89mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (93mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has much less armside movement than typical, has essentially average velo, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has some added backspin. Their curve has an exceptional bite, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their slider sweeps across the zone and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their cutter is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has sweeping cut action and has some natural sink. Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slightly above average velo and has virtually no sinking action reminiscent of a true sinker.
