Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Ricky Vanasco has thrown 1,411 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 (94mph) and Curve (82mph), also mixing in a Change (86mph). He also rarely throws a Cutter (92mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has essentially average velo and has slight armside run. Their curve generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual, has a sharp downward bite and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their change generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is blazing fast, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has little cutting action.
