Washington Nationals
Cionel Pérez has thrown 4,856 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2018 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Curve (85mph), Fourseam Fastball (96mph) and Slider (85mph), also mixing in a Sinker (96mph).
In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their curve is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their fourseam fastball is blazing fast, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 18 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, has surprisingly little armside run, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action.
