Chicago Cubs
Jeff Brigham has thrown 4,199 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2018 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 (94mph), Slider (83mph) and Cutter (89mph), also mixing in a Change (87mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly above average velo. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 19 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 18 of them in 2026) generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, is much firmer than usual and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
