Ryan Walker has thrown 4,126 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 Sinker (96mph) and Slider (83mph). He also rarely throws a Fourseam Fastball (95mph) and Change (90mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, has an obvious tail, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is blazing fast and results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2026) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly 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, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it.
