Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Yacksel Ríos has thrown 3,106 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (97mph), Sinker (97mph) and Slider (87mph), also mixing in a Splitter (91mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is blazing fast and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, has less armside run than typical and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2025) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual and has some two-plane movement. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2025) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters, has movement that suggests a lot of backspin and has slight armside fade.
