San Francisco Giants
Mason Black has thrown 3,549 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Slider (83mph), also mixing in a Cutter (90mph) and Change (87mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (92mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and has slight armside run. Their slider sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their cutter has heavy sink, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has surprisingly little cutting action and has slightly above average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2025) dives down out of the zone and is much firmer than usual. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has an obvious tail, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action.
