Chicago Cubs
Daniel Palencia has thrown 2,626 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (100mph) and Slider (88mph). He also rarely throws a Splitter (89mph) and Sinker (98mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slight armside run. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, has primarily 12-6 movement, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their splitter is thrown extremely hard, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters 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 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run.
