Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Josh Ekness has thrown 926 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 (97mph) and Slider (86mph), also mixing in a Sinker (97mph). He also rarely throws a Curve (85mph).


In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is blazing fast, has some natural sinking action and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider sweeps across the zone and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker has heavy sinking action, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2026) is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has little depth and has primarily 12-6 movement.
