Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Chad Qualls threw 8,471 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2017, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2017, they relied primarily on their Sinker (91mph) and Slider (85mph). He also rarely threw a Change (81mph).


In 2017, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has heavy sinking action and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their slider generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2017) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slightly below average velo.
