Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Nate Pearson has thrown 3,662 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 Fourseam Fastball (98mph) and Slider (89mph), also mixing in a Curve (82mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (97mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is blazing fast and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their curve is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run.
