New York Yankees
Kervin Castro has thrown 2,500 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Cutter (93mph), Fourseam Fastball (94mph) and Sinker (94mph), also mixing in a Slider (85mph) and Curve (80mph). He also rarely throws a Change (90mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their cutter is blazing fast, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has good "rise" and has strong cutting action. Their fourseam fastball is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is straight as an arrow and has slightly above average velo. Their sinker has surprisingly little armside run, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo, has little sinking action compared to a true sinker and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2026) sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2026) has a sharp downward bite, is slightly harder than usual, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2026) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has a lot of backspin.
