Ben Bowden has thrown 4,174 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Slider (84mph) and Fourseam Fastball (93mph), also mixing in a Splitter (86mph).
In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs 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 7 of them in 2026) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly above average velo. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters, is much firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it.
