Boston Red Sox
Angel Bastardo has thrown 180 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system in 2026, including pitches thrown in The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (97mph) and Change (87mph), also mixing in a Slider (84mph). He also rarely throws a Curve (79mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is blazing fast and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their change dives down out of the zone, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, is much firmer than usual and has slight armside fade. Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their curve (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' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite.
