Ricky Vanasco has thrown 1,975 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (95mph), Change (85mph) and Curve (84mph). He also rarely throws a Slider (88mph) and Sinker (92mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has slight armside run and has slightly above average velo. Their change dives down out of the zone. Their curve is thrown extremely hard, has an exceptional bite, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2026) is thrown extremely hard, 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 (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has less armside run than typical.
