Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Angel Zerpa has thrown 2,536 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2024, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (97mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (96mph), Curve (85mph), Slider (87mph) and Change (89mph).


In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair. Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, is blazing fast and results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their curve is thrown extremely hard and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their change is thrown extremely hard and has some natural sink to it.
