Zach Thompson has thrown 5,419 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (91mph) and Cutter (85mph), also mixing in a Curve (74mph), Change (85mph) and Sinker (90mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is straight as an arrow, has some natural sinking action and has slightly below average velo. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2025) has heavy sink, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has below average velo and has strong cutting action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2025) has an exceptional bite, has below average velo, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight cut action. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sinking action.
