Washington Nationals
Paxton Schultz has thrown 4,172 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 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 Cutter (89mph), Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Change (85mph), also mixing in a Slider (84mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their cutter is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has good "rise". Their fourseam fastball has essentially average velo. Their change has surprising cut action, dives down out of the zone, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement.
