Jordan Wicks has thrown 2,881 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 and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Change (82mph), also mixing in a Sinker (92mph), Slider (83mph) and Curve (79mph). He also rarely throws a Cutter (88mph).
In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has much less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action and has slightly above average velo. Their change is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their sinker has less armside run than typical, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their slider sweeps across the zone and has some two-plane movement. Their curve results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and is slightly harder than usual. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has sweeping cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has well above average velo and has some natural sink.
