Chicago Cubs
Daniel Palencia has thrown 3,049 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (99mph) and Slider (90mph), also mixing in a Splitter (88mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (100mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slight armside run. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' splitters, is much firmer than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' splitters and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run.
