Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Janson Junk has thrown 5,189 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 Fourseam Fastball (93mph), Slider (86mph) and Curve (82mph), also mixing in a Sinker (93mph). He also rarely throws a Cutter (90mph) and Splitter (85mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has much less armside movement than typical, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders and has short glove-side cut. Their curve is much harder than usual, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has less armside run than typical. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2024) explodes on the hitter, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters and has slightly above average velo. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters.
