Seattle Mariners

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2026, Shintaro Fujinami threw 2,821 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (97mph), Splitter (89mph) and Slider (84mph), also mixing in a Sinker (98mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (85mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and is blazing fast. Their splitter is thrown extremely hard, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' splitters and has some natural sink to it. Their slider has some two-plane movement. Their sinker is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2025) is thrown extremely hard, has an exceptional bite, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves.
