Chicago White Sox
Riley Gowens has thrown 196 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system in 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Slider (85mph), also mixing in a Curve (79mph). He also rarely throws a Change (86mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their slider has some two-plane movement. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has an obvious armside fade, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it.
