Scott Effross has thrown 2,322 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 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 (90mph) and Slider (79mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (90mph) and Change (83mph). He also rarely throws a Cutter (84mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has an obvious tail, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slightly below average velo. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has short glove-side cut. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2026) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has an obvious tail, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has below average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2026) comes in below hitting speed, has heavy sink, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has surprisingly little cutting action.
