Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Daniel Lynch IV has thrown 9,209 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 Fourseam Fastball (95mph) and Change (86mph), also mixing in a Slider (87mph), Sinker (94mph) and Curve (81mph).


In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball is blazing fast, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their change dives down out of the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and is much firmer than usual. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has well above average velo. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2026) is thrown extremely hard, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, has little depth and has primarily 12-6 movement.
