Chicago Cubs
Julian Merryweather has thrown 2,872 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Slider (85mph) and Fourseam Fastball (97mph). He also rarely throws a Change (80mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has well above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has below average velo, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight cut action and has a lot of backspin.
