Chicago Cubs
Cade Horton has thrown 2,733 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 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 Cutter (96mph) and Slider (84mph), also mixing in a Change (87mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (95mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their cutter is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, has good "rise" and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2026) has exceptional depth, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has short glove-side cut. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2026) is much firmer than usual and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is blazing fast and has surprisingly little armside run.
