Pittsburgh Pirates
Justin Lawrence has thrown 5,034 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 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 Slider (83mph) and Sinker (95mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (96mph). He also rarely throws a Change (89mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their slider sweeps across the zone and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has heavy sinking action, has an obvious tail and has well above average velo. Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, has an obvious tail and has well above average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2026) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade.
