Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Dan Altavilla has thrown 2,957 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2016 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (97mph) and Slider (90mph), also mixing in a Change (92mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (97mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has well above average velo and has slight armside run. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change is thrown extremely hard, dives down out of the zone, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run and has some natural sinking action.
