Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Michael Petersen has thrown 1,509 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (97mph) and Slider (89mph). He also rarely throws a Change (88mph) and Sinker (98mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is blazing fast and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, is much firmer than usual and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2025) 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 and has slight armside run.
