Chicago Cubs
Daniel Palencia has thrown 2,082 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (99mph) and Slider (87mph), also mixing in a Splitter (88mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, has some natural sinking action and has slight armside run. Their slider generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2025) is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters, has some natural sink to it and has slight armside fade.
