Houston Astros
Anthony Maldonado has thrown 3,119 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Slider (85mph) and Fourseam Fastball (92mph), also mixing in a Change (87mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (91mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their slider results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has an obvious tail and has essentially average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2026) generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run.
