Washington Nationals
Andrew Alvarez has thrown 3,548 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2024 and 2025, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Slider (83mph) and Fourseam Fastball (91mph), also mixing in a Change (86mph) and Sinker (91mph). He also rarely throws a Curve (79mph).
In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their slider has exceptional depth, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has short glove-side cut. Their fourseam fastball is straight as an arrow, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their change dives down out of the zone and is much firmer than usual. Their sinker is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and is slightly harder than usual.
