Arizona Diamondbacks
Ryan Thompson has thrown 2,945 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (91mph) and Slider (78mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (92mph).
In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action and is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, sweeps across the zone, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has less than expected depth. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and has slight armside run.
