Tampa Bay Rays
Brody Hopkins has thrown 80 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2026, all of them occuring in Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (98mph) and Cutter (92mph), also mixing in a Curve (87mph). He also rarely throws a Change (92mph) and Slider (87mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is blazing fast and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has heavy sink, is blazing fast, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters 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 thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2026) is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, has an obvious armside fade, dives down out of the zone and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual and has some two-plane movement.
