Houston Astros
Alex Santos II has thrown 432 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2024 and 2026, including pitches thrown in The World Baseball Classic, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph) and Slider (81mph), also mixing in a Cutter (88mph). He also rarely throws a Curve (81mph) and Sinker (93mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has below average velo. Their cutter is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has little depth and is slightly harder than usual. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 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, has little sinking action compared to a true sinker and has slightly above average velo.
