Baltimore Orioles
Ryan Helsley has thrown 6,018 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 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 (98mph) and Slider (88mph), also mixing in a Splitter (90mph). He also rarely throws a Curve (81mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, has much less armside movement than typical and has some added backspin. Their slider generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual and has some two-plane movement. Their splitter is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters, has movement that suggests a lot of backspin and has slight armside fade. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 18 of them in 2026) has primarily 12-6 movement, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and is slightly harder than usual.
