St. Louis Cardinals
Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2025, James Naile threw 1,511 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Sinker (92mph) and Curve (84mph), also mixing in a Cutter (89mph) and Change (88mph). He also rarely threw a Fourseam Fastball (92mph).
In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers and results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their curve is thrown extremely hard, has sweeping glove-side movement and has little depth. Their cutter generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has some natural sink. Their change is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, is much firmer than usual and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 18 of them in 2023) 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 and has essentially average velo.
