Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Anthony Bender has thrown 2,515 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (96mph) and Slider (85mph). He also rarely throws a Change (90mph), Cutter (94mph) and Fourseam Fastball (96mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has an obvious tail and is blazing fast. Their slider sweeps across the zone and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change is thrown extremely hard, dives down out of the zone, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. Their cutter is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, has surprisingly little cutting action and has some natural sink. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 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, has well above average velo and has slight armside run.
