San Diego Padres
Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Chih-Wei Hu threw 454 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Sinker (89mph) and Slider (84mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (90mph), Change (86mph) and Curve (78mph).
In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has below average velo and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slightly below average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2023) generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has little depth.
