Ryan Weathers is pitching very differently with the New York Yankees . They traded for him this offseason from the Miami Marlins , and he's got a totally different arm slot. According to Baseball Savant, Weathers is throwing from a 9.
1-degree lower arm slot on his four-seam fastball. He now releases that pitch at 36 degrees. Looks like Baseball Savant's arm angle data is out for 2026!
Attached is a screenshot of some notable risers and droppers on four-seam fastballs, along with their new 2026 arm angle. 40Ā° is the MLB average. What jumps out?
