Rico Garcia has thrown 1,567 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (95mph) and Change (86mph), also mixing in a Curve (82mph). He also rarely throws a Slider (85mph) and Cutter (90mph).
In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slightly above average velo and has some added backspin. Their change has a lot of backspin, is slightly firmer than usual and has slight armside fade. Their curve has an exceptional bite, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, is slightly harder than usual and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has primarily 12-6 movement and has some two-plane movement. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has little cutting action and has slightly above average velo.
