Milwaukee Brewers
Nestor Cortes has thrown 10,524 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2018 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (91mph) and Cutter (86mph), also mixing in a Change (82mph) and Slider (76mph).
In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has much less armside movement than typical, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo. Their cutter has sweeping cut action, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has some natural sink. Their change is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups and dives down out of the zone. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 19 of them in 2025) comes in below hitting speed, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders.
