Yacksel Ríos has thrown 3,554 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 Change (92mph). He also rarely throws a Splitter (86mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is blazing fast and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers and is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair. Their slider results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual 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 change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 19 of them in 2026) is thrown extremely hard, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. 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.
