Jason Motte

St. Louis Cardinals

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Jason Motte threw 6,863 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2008 and 2017, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2017, they relied primarily on their Cutter (87mph) and Fourseam Fastball (93mph). He also rarely threw a Sinker using a One-seam Fastball grip (94mph), Change (91mph) and Slider (93mph).


In 2017, compared to other RHP:
Their cutter has heavy sink, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action. Their fourseam fastball has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and has slight armside run. Their sinker using a one-seam fastball grip (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2017) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slightly above average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2017) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has a lot of backspin. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2017) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has much less depth than expected and has primarily 12-6 movement.
