Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Paul Maholm threw 18,563 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2014, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2014, they relied primarily on their Sinker (88mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (88mph), Curve (73mph), Slider (81mph), Change (81mph) and Cutter (84mph). He also rarely threw a Slow Curve (65mph).


In 2014, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their fourseam fastball has below average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their curve has below average velo, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement. Their slider generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their change is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and dives down out of the zone. Their cutter has below average velo, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their slow curve is a real yakker that's separated from their other curveball due to its big drop and slow speed.
