St. Louis Cardinals
John King has thrown 4,334 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (93mph), also mixing in a Change (86mph) and Slider (85mph). He also rarely throws a Fourseam Fastball (94mph).
In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo and has less armside run than typical. Their change dives down out of the zone, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups and is much firmer than usual. Their slider has exceptional depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2025) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical and has well above average velo.
