Philadelphia Phillies
Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2026, Nolan Hoffman threw 2,550 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Curve (78mph), also mixing in a Change (86mph), Slider (83mph) and Cutter (89mph). He also rarely threw a Sinker (93mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, has an obvious tail, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their curve has sweeping glove-side movement, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their change is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, is slightly firmer than usual and has slight armside fade. Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has less than expected depth. Their cutter is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has little cutting action and has some natural sink. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2025) has heavy sinking action, has an obvious tail, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slightly above average velo.
