Seattle Mariners
Alex Hoppe has thrown 1,024 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2025 and 2026, all of them occuring in Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (98mph), Cutter (91mph) and Slider (88mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (98mph) and Change (88mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball 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, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical and has some natural sinking action. Their cutter generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has heavy sink, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly above average velo and has strong cutting action. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, has exceptional depth and generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2026) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has an obvious armside fade, dives down out of the zone and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
