Chicago Cubs

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2025, Justin Hancock threw 214 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system in 2018, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2018, they relied primarily on their Sinker (97mph) and Slider (89mph). He also rarely threw a Fourseam Fastball (97mph) and Change (90mph).


In 2018, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, has less armside run than typical, has little sinking action compared to a true sinker and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has primarily 12-6 movement and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2018) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is blazing fast, has some natural sinking action and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2018) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade.
