Michel Otañez has thrown 1,617 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (98mph) and Slider (85mph), also mixing in a Sinker (97mph). He also rarely throws a Change (91mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is blazing fast, has some natural sinking action and has slight armside run. Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2025) is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
