Rich Hill has thrown 21,769 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (89mph) and Curve (73mph), also mixing in a Slider (71mph) and Cutter (85mph). He also rarely throws a Change (82mph) and Sinker (87mph).
In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has much less armside movement than typical, has below average velo, has some natural sinking action and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their curve has sweeping glove-side movement, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, has below average velo, has a sharp downward bite and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, sweeps across the zone, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their cutter is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2025) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has below average velo.
