St. Louis Cardinals
Chris Roycroft has thrown 2,696 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (95mph), Slider (88mph) and Fourseam Fastball (95mph). He also rarely throws a Change (89mph) and Curve (82mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo and has slight armside run. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slightly above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2025) is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite.
