Detroit Tigers
Tanner Rainey has thrown 5,389 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2018 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (96mph) and Slider (88mph). He also rarely throws a Change (87mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has well above average velo and has some added backspin. Their slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual and has some two-plane movement. 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, has surprising cut action, is much firmer than usual and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
