St. Louis Cardinals
Matt Svanson has thrown 2,854 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (96mph), Slider (87mph) and Cutter (91mph). He also rarely throws a Fourseam Fastball (96mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is blazing fast, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, is much harder than usual and has some two-plane movement. Their cutter generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has well above average velo and has some natural sink. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2026) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has well above average velo.
