Angel Bastardo has thrown 702 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 (87mph). He also rarely throws a Cutter (92mph) and Curve (80mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has well above average velo, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slight armside run. Their change dives down out of the zone, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, is much firmer than usual, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. Their slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, has primarily 12-6 movement and has some two-plane movement. Their cutter is blazing fast, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has little cutting action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 18 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, has a sharp downward bite, is slightly harder than usual and has primarily 12-6 movement.
