Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Julian Merryweather has thrown 2,732 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 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 (85mph). He also rarely throws a Change (80mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has well above average velo, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth, generates more whiffs/swing 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 3 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, has below average velo, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has a lot of backspin.
