Yacksel Ríos has thrown 3,338 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (97mph) and Sinker (97mph), also mixing in a Slider (87mph), Curve (84mph) and Splitter (86mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is blazing fast, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has some natural sinking action. Their sinker is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their curve is thrown extremely hard, has primarily 12-6 movement, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has little depth. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters, has slight cut action, has some natural sink to it and is slightly firmer than usual.
