Chicago Cubs
Brandon Hughes has thrown 2,790 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 (92mph), Slider (83mph) and Sinker (92mph). He also rarely throws a Change (86mph).
In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their slider generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch 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 7 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups, is much firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it.
