Michael Kopech has thrown 7,205 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2018 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and the MLB Postseason. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (99mph), also mixing in a Slider (89mph). He also rarely throws a Cutter (92mph), Curve (85mph) and Change (74mph).
In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their cutter is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, is blazing fast, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, 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 1 of them in 2024) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight cut action and has an extreme amount of backspin.
