Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Matt Festa has thrown 3,417 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2018 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Slider (83mph), Fourseam Fastball (92mph) and Cutter (90mph). He also rarely throws a Change (91mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their slider sweeps across the zone, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, has much less armside movement than typical and has essentially average velo. Their cutter generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly 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 4 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade.
