Tampa Bay Rays
TJ Nichols has thrown 150 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2026, all of them occuring in Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (96mph) and Slider (88mph), also mixing in a Change (87mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has some natural sinking action, has well above average velo, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slight armside run. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2026) is much firmer than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it.
