Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2025, Drew Smyly threw 19,918 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2012 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2024, they relied primarily on their Sinker (93mph) and Curve (80mph). He also rarely threw a Cutter (89mph), Slider (81mph) and Splitter (87mph).
In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker has surprisingly little armside run, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has little sinking action compared to a true sinker and has slightly above average velo. Their curve has primarily 12-6 movement, is much harder than usual, has little depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their cutter generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has well above average velo and has good "rise". Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters and has slight cut action.
