Luis Gastelum has thrown 1,107 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2026, including pitches thrown in The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Change (82mph) and Fourseam Fastball (94mph), also mixing in a Slider (84mph) and Sinker (93mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
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, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slightly below average velo. Their fourseam fastball generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs 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 more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action.
