Chicago Cubs
Charlie Barnes has thrown 1,825 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Slider (81mph) and Fourseam Fastball (90mph), also mixing in a Change (82mph) and Sinker (90mph). He also rarely throws a Curve (76mph).
In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their slider sweeps across the zone and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo. Their change dives down out of the zone and has slight armside fade. Their sinker has some natural sinking action. Their curve (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' curves, has sweeping glove-side movement, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves and has little depth.
