Luis Gastelum has thrown 904 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 Fourseam Fastball (94mph) and Change (81mph), also mixing in a Slider (85mph) and Sinker (93mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2026) has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slight armside run. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slightly below average velo. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2026) has heavy sinking action, 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 and has slightly above average velo.
