T.J. McFarland has thrown 9,762 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2013 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (88mph) and Slider (79mph), also mixing in a Change using a Circle Change grip (81mph). He also rarely throws a Fourseam Fastball (88mph).
In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slightly below average velo. Their slider sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has below average velo. Their change using a circle change grip (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has below average velo and has slight armside run.
