Cody Laweryson
2026Grade
Below league average across the board.
Laweryson has been below average at limiting bases
The simulator expects him to allow 0.465 bases per batter faced, better than 30% of qualified pitchers. His weakest skill is limiting hard contact (14th percentile). Short relief outings push strikeout rates up a little, so read his K% spoke with that in mind.
His grade rests on 78 batters faced, with data through 2026-09-27.

Each of these pitchers shares his archetype and sits closest to him in xEB/PA.
Pitcher type
Arsenal
Cody Laweryson leans on his four-seam fastball (69% of pitches). His best pitch has been the four-seam fastball, saving 3.8 bases per 100 thrown against league average.
Pitch mix & swing-and-miss
He allowed about 34 estimated bases, against a replacement arm's 41 over the same batters faced.
Replacement level is per-batter and can't be split by pitch type, so the bars below use league average.
He saved 3.1 bases against league average across 253 pitches, or 1.2 per 100 pitches.
His changeup isn't in the charts below, because only 43 of them were tracked with velocity and movement data this season.

By appearance
These charts follow his velocity, movement and pitch mix one outing at a time, and each pitch keeps the same color in every chart. The velocity and movement charts also shade the middle of the league for scale. His changeup isn't in these charts, because only 43 of them were tracked with velocity and movement data this season.
Platoon splits
Platoon splits (EB/PA allowed)
He handles righty bats better than lefty bats, by 0.042 EB/PA allowed.
50% probable range: +0.033 to +0.050
vs LHB: shrunk estimate 0.442 EB/PA, 50% probable range 0.420 to 0.463, based on 34 plate appearances. Raw (unshrunk) rate: 0.444 EB/PA. League median vs LHB: 0.451 EB/PA.
vs RHB: shrunk estimate 0.400 EB/PA, 50% probable range 0.379 to 0.421, based on 44 plate appearances. Raw (unshrunk) rate: 0.475 EB/PA. League median vs RHB: 0.435 EB/PA.
His raw rate vs RHB (0.475) is off this scale. Small samples can push a raw rate this far, which is why the dot, the shrunk estimate, is the number to trust.
His split is about typical for a righty arm (median 0.042). He allows less than the league median against both sides, so even his weaker side is a strength.
How to read this chart
- Each dot is his estimate against that side, with its 50% probable range as the bar. These are bases allowed, so lower is better.
- The diamond is his raw rate, which small samples make noisy, so the simulator pulls the dot toward a more trustworthy value.
- The dashed tick is the league median, and the shaded strip is the middle half of pitchers with 100 or more batters faced.
- The two splits average back to his modeled overall EB/PA allowed, not the xEB/PA headline.
- Tap or hover a mark for its number. LHB and RHB are left- and right-handed batters. More on the About page
Contact allowed
Batters go to the opposite field off him most often, but they do the most damage to the pull side.
Pull side and opposite field depend on which side each batter hits from, so this pools every hitter he faced.
Batted balls allowed
Luck check
One out behind him came on a ball the simulator values at 1.5 bases or more.
One hit off him had less than a 20% chance of being a hit.
