Chicago Cubs
Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2026, Matthew Boyd threw 19,210 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2015 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2025, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Change (79mph), also mixing in a Slider (82mph) and Curve (73mph). He also rarely threw a Sinker (91mph).
In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slight armside run and has slightly above average velo. Their change dives down out of the zone, has below average velo and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their slider results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their curve has sweeping glove-side movement, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slightly below average velo. Their sinker is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action.
