Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Yacksel Ríos has thrown 3,140 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (97mph), Fourseam Fastball (97mph) and Slider (87mph), also mixing in a Splitter (91mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has less armside run than typical. Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has well above average velo and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual and has some two-plane movement. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2025) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters, has movement that suggests a lot of backspin and has slight armside fade.
