Burch Smith has thrown 4,530 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2013 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (95mph), also mixing in a Cutter (90mph), Sinker (92mph), Slider (84mph) and Curve using a Knuckle Curve grip (81mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical and has slightly above average velo. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has slightly above average velo. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their curve using a knuckle curve grip (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and is slightly harder than usual.
