Chicago Cubs
Porter Hodge has thrown 1,582 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2024 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Cutter (96mph) and Slider (84mph). He also rarely throws a Splitter (91mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their cutter is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has good "rise". Their slider sweeps across the zone, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2025) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters and has slight cut action.
