Pittsburgh Pirates
Joe La Sorsa has thrown 3,379 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Slider (79mph) and Sinker (90mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Change (84mph).
In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has below average velo. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2026) generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2026) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly above average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and is slightly firmer than usual.
