St. Louis Cardinals
Matt Pushard has thrown 1,450 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (95mph) and Cutter (88mph), also mixing in a Slider (84mph) and Change (86mph). He also rarely throws a Curve (82mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slight armside run and has slightly above average velo. Their cutter has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their slider sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and is slightly firmer than usual. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2026) is much harder than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement.
