Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2025, Fernando Abad threw 7,744 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2010 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2024, they relied primarily on their Sinker (92mph) and Change (79mph), also mixing in a Curve using a Knuckle Curve grip (78mph) and Slider (83mph). He also rarely threw a Fourseam Fastball (94mph).


In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker has surprisingly little armside run, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has little sinking action compared to a true sinker and has slightly above average velo. Their change has below average velo. Their curve using a knuckle curve grip is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is slightly harder than usual and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has less than expected depth. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slightly above average velo and has some added backspin.
