San Diego Padres
Dylan Cease has thrown 12,433 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (97mph) and Slider (88mph), also mixing in a Curve (83mph). He also rarely throws a Splitter (65mph) and Cutter (94mph).
In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is blazing fast, has much less armside movement than typical and has some added backspin. Their slider generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual and has some two-plane movement. Their curve has an exceptional bite, has primarily 12-6 movement, is much harder than usual and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2024) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, has surprising cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters and has movement that suggests an extreme amount of backspin. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2024) is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has some natural sink.
