Houston Astros
AJ Blubaugh has thrown 5,091 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2024 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (95mph) and Change (86mph), also mixing in a Slider (83mph) and Cutter (88mph). He also rarely throws a Curve (79mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slight armside run and has slightly above average velo. Their change dives down out of the zone, is slightly firmer than usual and has slight armside fade. Their slider sweeps across the zone and has some two-plane movement. Their cutter results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite.
