Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Forrest Whitley has thrown 1,975 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (97mph) and Fourseam Fastball (98mph), also mixing in a Curve (83mph), Slider (86mph) and Cutter (92mph). He also rarely throws a Change (90mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their fourseam fastball is blazing fast and has some natural sinking action. Their curve has an exceptional bite, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their cutter is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters, has well above average velo, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it.
