Lucas Erceg has thrown 3,634 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (98mph), Slider (85mph) and Sinker (98mph), also mixing in a Change (90mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is blazing fast, has some natural sinking action and has slight armside run. Their slider has exceptional depth, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair. Their change is thrown extremely hard, has an obvious armside fade, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it.
