Chicago Cubs
Daniel Palencia has thrown 2,910 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (100mph) and Slider (88mph), also mixing in a Splitter (88mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (98mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slight armside run. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, has primarily 12-6 movement and has some two-plane movement. Their splitter is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters, is much firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run.
