Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Ryan Watson has thrown 3,205 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (93mph) and Fourseam Fastball (94mph), also mixing in a Slider (84mph), Curve (83mph) and Cutter (91mph). He also rarely throws a Splitter (88mph).


In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their fourseam fastball is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their curve is much harder than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has slight glove-side movement. Their cutter is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sink. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2026) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters.
