Scott Barlow has thrown 7,001 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2018 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Slider (84mph) and Fourseam Fastball (94mph), also mixing in a Sinker (94mph) and Curve (78mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical and has essentially average velo. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, has sweeping glove-side movement, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite.
