Atlanta Braves
Chris Sale has thrown 31,852 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2010 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Slider (79mph) and Fourseam Fastball (94mph), also mixing in a Change using a Circle Change grip (86mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (93mph).
In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their slider sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth, has below average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, has well above average velo, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slight armside run. Their change using a circle change grip dives down out of the zone, is much firmer than usual, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2025) has heavy sinking action, has an obvious tail, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has well above average velo.
