Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Nate Pearson has thrown 3,311 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (98mph) and Slider (88mph), also mixing in a Curve (81mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (97mph), Splitter (89mph), Change (89mph) and Cutter (94mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is blazing fast and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, has short glove-side cut, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their curve generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite, is slightly harder than usual and has slight glove-side movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 19 of them in 2024) is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2024) is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action.
