Joey Wentz

Pittsburgh Pirates

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Joey Wentz has thrown 5,427 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph) and Cutter (88mph), also mixing in a Curve (80mph). He also rarely throws a Change (86mph).


In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball has less armside movement than typical, has well above average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their cutter has heavy sink, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly above average velo and has strong cutting action. Their curve generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups, is much firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it.
