Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Fernando Abad has thrown 7,605 pitches that have been 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 have relied primarily on their Sinker (92mph) and Change (78mph), also mixing in a Curve using a Knuckle Curve grip (78mph) and Slider (84mph).


In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, has little sinking action compared to a true sinker and has slightly above average velo. Their change comes in below hitting speed, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their curve using a knuckle curve grip (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2024) 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 7 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, has short glove-side cut and has less than expected depth.
