Texas Rangers
Michel Otañez has thrown 2,297 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (98mph) and Slider (85mph), also mixing in a Sinker (97mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is blazing fast, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, results in somewhat more groundballs 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 an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has primarily 12-6 movement and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair.
