Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Chandler Champlain has thrown 5,449 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (92mph) and Cutter (87mph), also mixing in a Curve (80mph), Change (83mph), Slider (84mph) and Sinker (91mph).


In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their cutter has heavy sink, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action. Their curve has an exceptional bite, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves, is slightly harder than usual and has slight glove-side movement. Their change is a prototypical pitch with few remarkable qualities. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 18 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has surprisingly little armside run.
