Brady Basso has thrown 1,681 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2024 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Curve (78mph), also mixing in a Cutter (88mph) and Change (86mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (92mph).
In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has much less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action and has slightly above average velo. Their curve has a sharp downward bite, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their cutter results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly above average velo, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their change generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, is much firmer than usual and results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has slightly above average velo.
