Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

John King has thrown 3,836 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 Sinker (94mph) and Change (84mph), also mixing in a Slider (84mph). He also rarely throws a Fourseam Fastball (93mph).


In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo and has less armside run than typical. Their change dives down out of the zone and is slightly firmer than usual. Their slider generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2024) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly above average velo.
