Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Cade Smith has thrown 1,914 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (96mph) and Splitter (89mph), also mixing in a Slider (82mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has well above average velo. Their splitter is thrown extremely hard, has dives down out of the zone and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' splitters. Their slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone and has some two-plane movement.
