Tampa Bay Rays
Manuel Rodríguez has thrown 2,715 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Slider (89mph) and Sinker (97mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (97mph). He also rarely throws a Change (88mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their slider is thrown extremely hard, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. 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 fourseam fastball has less armside movement than typical, has well above average velo and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, is much firmer than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it.
