Chris Roycroft has thrown 2,319 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (95mph) and Fourseam Fastball (95mph), also mixing in a Slider (89mph). He also rarely throws a Change (89mph) and Curve (82mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has heavy sinking action, has an obvious tail, has well above average velo and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly above average velo. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has primarily 12-6 movement and has some two-plane movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2025) is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite.
