Miguel Cienfuegos has thrown 1,514 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2024 and 2026, including pitches thrown in The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (93mph), Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Slider (84mph), also mixing in a Change (84mph). He also rarely throws a Curve (81mph).
In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker has surprisingly little armside run, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slightly above average velo. Their fourseam fastball has less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action and has slightly above average velo. Their slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their change has surprising cut action, dives down out of the zone, is slightly firmer than usual and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2026) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, has little depth and has primarily 12-6 movement.
