Houston Astros
Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2026, J.P. France threw 5,806 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (92mph), Cutter (86mph) and Curve (76mph), also mixing in a Slider (81mph) and Change (84mph). He also rarely threw a Sinker (92mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has much less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their cutter has heavy sink, has sweeping cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has below average velo. Their curve has an exceptional bite, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves and has slightly below average velo. Their slider sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has below average velo and has some two-plane movement. Their change results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has surprisingly little armside run.
