Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Alan Busenitz has thrown 3,286 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph) and Cutter (91mph), also mixing in a Sinker (93mph) and Slider (84mph). He also rarely throws a Change (84mph) and Curve (83mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their cutter is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has slightly above average velo. Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their slider generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement, is much harder than usual, has a sharp downward bite and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves.
