Oliver Drake

Tampa Bay Rays

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Oliver Drake threw 3,641 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2015 and 2020, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2020, they relied primarily on their Splitter (84mph) and Fourseam Fastball (92mph). He also rarely threw a Slider (86mph).


In 2020, compared to other RHP:
Their splitter has surprising cut action and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' splitters. Their fourseam fastball is straight as an arrow, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2020) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has short glove-side cut.
