Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Dylan Cease has thrown 15,344 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Slider (87mph) and Fourseam Fastball (97mph), also mixing in a Curve (82mph). He also rarely throws a Splitter (70mph) and Cutter (92mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their slider generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball is blazing fast and has much less armside movement than typical. Their curve has an exceptional bite, has primarily 12-6 movement, is much harder than usual and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their splitter comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, has surprising cut action and has movement that suggests an extreme amount of backspin. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 19 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has well above average velo, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action.
