Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Griffin Canning has thrown 10,560 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (95mph) and Slider (88mph), also mixing in a Change (89mph) and Sinker (94mph). He also rarely throws a Curve (80mph) and Cutter (91mph).


In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly above average velo. Their slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth, is much harder than usual and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their change is thrown extremely hard, dives down out of the zone and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2026) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slightly above average velo. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and is slightly harder than usual. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has well above average velo and has some natural sink.
