Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Matt Sauer has thrown 1,706 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (95mph) and Slider (87mph), also mixing in a Curve (82mph) and Sinker (95mph). He also rarely throws a Splitter (86mph) and Change (89mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slightly above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their slider results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has short glove-side cut. Their curve is much harder than usual and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their sinker generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has well above average velo. Their splitter is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters and has slight cut action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 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, has slight cut action and has a lot of backspin.
