Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Josh Hader has thrown 9,204 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2015 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (94mph) and Slider (83mph).


In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, has well above average velo and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2026) results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement.
