Kansas City Royals
Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2026, Matt Strahm threw 8,999 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2016 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (92mph) and Slider (82mph), also mixing in a Sinker (92mph) and Cutter (87mph). He also rarely threw a Change (83mph).
In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and has slight armside run. Their slider has short glove-side cut and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run and has slightly above average velo. Their cutter has little cutting action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has slightly above average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, dives down out of the zone and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups.
