Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Phil Bickford has thrown 4,398 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (91mph) and Slider (82mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly below average velo. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has less than expected depth.
