Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Brandon Hughes has thrown 3,103 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 Slider (83mph), Fourseam Fastball (92mph) and Sinker (92mph). He also rarely throws a Change (85mph).


In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their slider has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their sinker results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2025) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, is much firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it.
