Yusei Kikuchi has thrown 15,175 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Slider (87mph) and Fourseam Fastball (95mph), also mixing in a Change (85mph) and Curve (80mph).
In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their slider is thrown extremely hard. Their fourseam fastball has some natural sinking action and has well above average velo. Their change dives down out of the zone, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and is much firmer than usual. Their curve generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves.
