Detroit Tigers
Tarik Skubal has thrown 13,771 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 Fourseam Fastball (97mph) and Change (86mph), also mixing in a Slider (89mph), Sinker (97mph) and Curve (80mph).
In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is straight as an arrow, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair and generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their change is thrown extremely hard and dives down out of the zone. Their slider is thrown extremely hard and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, has surprisingly little armside run and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual and has a sharp downward bite.
