Jordan Hicks has thrown 8,164 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2018 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (99mph) and Slider (87mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (98mph) and Splitter (89mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, has slight armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their slider is much harder than usual, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 19 of them in 2026) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, has an obvious tail and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 18 of them in 2026) is thrown extremely hard, has dives down out of the zone, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' splitters, has surprising cut action and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' splitters.
