Cincinnati Reds
Ryjeteri Merite has thrown 74 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system in 2026, all of them occuring in The World Baseball Classic. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (93mph), Slider (80mph) and Fourseam Fastball (94mph). He also rarely throws a Change (85mph).
In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their slider has exceptional depth, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has short glove-side cut. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2026) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action and has well above average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and is much firmer than usual.
