Alex Young has thrown 5,515 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 Sinker (89mph), Slider (80mph) and Change (84mph).


In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and is slightly firmer than usual.
