Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Kirby Yates has thrown 7,430 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2014 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Splitter (86mph). He also rarely throws a Slider (86mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has an obvious tail, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their splitter has dives down out of the zone, is slightly firmer than usual and has slight armside fade. 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, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement.
