Cahill's repertoire includes five pitches: he primarily features a sinking fastball with obvious tail, a changeup, and a curveball thrown with a knuckle-curve grip, and mixes in a slider and four-seam fastball as well.
In 2012, Cahill added a [[cutter (baseball)|cutter]] to his repertoire. Since 2012, he has thrown fewer fastballs and gone with more of a sinker/cutter combo.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/trevor-cahill-trusting-his-cutter/ |title=Trevor Cahill Trusting His Cutter – FanGraphs Fantasy Baseball |work=fangraphs.com |date=April 17, 2013 |access-date=July 17, 2015}}</ref>
