Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Chris Roycroft has thrown 3,754 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (96mph), Slider (90mph) and Cutter (95mph). He also rarely throws a Fourseam Fastball (96mph).


In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, is blazing fast, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. 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, has surprisingly little cutting action and has some natural sink. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2026) has heavy sinking action, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has well above average velo.
