Houston Astros
Alimber Santa has thrown 584 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2025 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Slider (86mph) and Sinker (95mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (95mph). He also rarely throws a Change (88mph) and Curve (80mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their slider generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has well above average velo. Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly above average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, is much firmer than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2026) has an exceptional bite, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, is slightly harder than usual and has slight glove-side movement.
