Texas Rangers
Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2026, Michel Otañez threw 2,058 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (98mph) and Slider (85mph), also mixing in a Sinker (97mph). He also rarely threw a Change (91mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is blazing fast, has some natural sinking action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slight armside run. Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their sinker is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2025) is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
