St. Louis Cardinals
Matt Svanson has thrown 2,958 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (96mph) and Slider (87mph), also mixing in a Cutter (91mph). He also rarely throws a Fourseam Fastball (96mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is blazing fast, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone and is much harder than usual. Their cutter has heavy sink, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has well above average velo. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2026) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has well above average velo.
