Houston Astros
Christian Roa has thrown 3,810 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (96mph), Fourseam Fastball (96mph) and Slider (87mph), also mixing in a Change (88mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is blazing fast and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has well above average velo. Their slider results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut, is much harder than usual and has some two-plane movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, is much firmer than usual and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
