Phil Bickford

Detroit Tigers

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2026, Phil Bickford threw 5,194 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 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). He also rarely threw a Splitter (87mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider has short glove-side cut and has less than expected depth. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters and is much firmer than usual.
