Cincinnati Reds
Andrew Chafin has thrown 9,955 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2014 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 Sinker (86mph) and Slider (78mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (86mph). He also rarely throws a Change (81mph).
In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker has below average velo, has less armside run than typical and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their slider generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, has below average velo, has primarily 12-6 movement and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball comes in below hitting speed, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and has a lot of backspin.
