Los Angeles Angels
Yusei Kikuchi has thrown 14,536 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Slider (86mph) and Fourseam Fastball (95mph), also mixing in a Change (86mph) and Curve (80mph).
In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their slider has short glove-side cut, is much harder than usual and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has well above average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their change generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, is much firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual, has little depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves.
