Chicago Cubs
Daniel Palencia has thrown 1,990 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (99mph) and Slider (88mph), also mixing in a Splitter (89mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, has an obvious tail and has some natural sinking action. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2025) is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters, has some natural sink to it and has slight armside fade.
