Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Nick Nelson has thrown 5,166 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph) and Slider (86mph), also mixing in a Change (88mph), Sinker (94mph) and Knuckleball (80mph). He also rarely throws a Curve (79mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has some natural sinking action, has slightly above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their slider has exceptional depth. Their change generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, is much firmer than usual, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has well above average velo. Their knuckleball flutters and floats unpredictably toward the plate. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2024) generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite.
