Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Jalen Beeks has thrown 6,612 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2018 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (95mph) and Change (89mph), also mixing in a Cutter (85mph). He also rarely throws a Curve (75mph) and Slider (83mph).


In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball has much less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action, has well above average velo and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their change is thrown extremely hard, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their cutter has heavy sink, has extreme cut action and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2024) has a sharp downward bite, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement.
