Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Shaun Marcum threw 14,337 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2015, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2015, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (86mph) and Cutter (84mph), also mixing in a Change using a Circle Change grip (80mph), Sinker (86mph) and Curve (72mph).


In 2015, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball comes in below hitting speed, has much less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their cutter comes in below hitting speed, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action. Their change using a circle change grip has surprising cut action, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, has below average velo, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, has surprisingly little armside run and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their curve comes in below hitting speed, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has primarily 12-6 movement.
