Chicago Cubs
Porter Hodge has thrown 1,963 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 (90mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their cutter is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, explodes on the hitter, has little cutting action and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters. 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 9 of them in 2025) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, has surprising cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters and has some natural sink to it.
