Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Zach Thompson has thrown 5,800 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (91mph) and Cutter (85mph), also mixing in a Curve (74mph), Sinker (90mph) and Change (85mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is straight as an arrow, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly below average velo. Their cutter has heavy sink, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has below average velo and has strong cutting action. Their curve has below average velo, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their sinker is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their change generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight cut action and has some natural sink to it.
