Justin Topa has thrown 3,157 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 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 Sinker (94mph), Cutter (92mph) and Slider (82mph), also mixing in a Change (87mph). He also rarely throws a Fourseam Fastball (95mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has an obvious tail and has well above average velo. Their cutter results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has surprisingly little cutting action, has well above average velo and has some natural sink. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their change dives down out of the zone, is slightly firmer than usual, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2026) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has an obvious tail, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly above average velo.
