Yariel Rodríguez

Toronto Blue Jays

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2026, Yariel Rodríguez threw 3,466 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2025, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (96mph) and Slider (86mph), also mixing in a Splitter (89mph) and Sinker (95mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (77mph) and Cutter (95mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action, has well above average velo and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their splitter is thrown extremely hard, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' splitters, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters and has an obvious armside fade. Their sinker generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is blazing fast, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has slight glove-side movement. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2025) is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has surprisingly little cutting action and has good "rise".
