Houston Astros
Bryan King has thrown 2,348 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2024 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 Fourseam Fastball (92mph) and Slider (81mph), also mixing in a Sinker (91mph). He also rarely throws a Change (85mph) and Curve (77mph).
In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has much less armside movement than typical and has essentially average velo. Their slider sweeps across the zone and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has heavy sinking action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has surprisingly little armside run. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and is much firmer than usual. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement.
