Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Chris Roycroft has thrown 1,955 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (96mph) and Fourseam Fastball (95mph), also mixing in a Slider (84mph). He also rarely throws a Change (90mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has an obvious tail, is blazing fast and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, has slightly above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their slider sweeps across the zone, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade.
