Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Trent Thornton has thrown 6,854 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Slider (82mph) and Cutter (91mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (96mph), Curve (82mph) and Sinker (94mph). He also rarely throws a Change (87mph) and Splitter (87mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their slider sweeps across the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their cutter has heavy sink, has slightly above average velo and has strong cutting action. Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical, has well above average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their curve is much harder than usual and has a sharp downward bite. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo, has less armside run than typical, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2024) dives down out of the zone, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups and is much firmer than usual. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters, has some natural sink to it and is slightly firmer than usual.
