Kansas City Royals
Matt Strahm has thrown 9,158 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2016 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Slider (81mph) and Fourseam Fastball (91mph), also mixing in a Sinker (91mph), Cutter (88mph) and Change (82mph).
In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their slider results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has short glove-side cut. Their fourseam fastball is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and has slight armside run. Their sinker generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their cutter is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, has surprisingly little cutting action and has slightly above average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2026) dives down out of the zone, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups.
