Louie Varland has thrown 6,236 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 (96mph) and Slider (90mph), also mixing in a Curve (84mph) and Change (89mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (94mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has well above average velo. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders and has less than expected depth. Their curve is thrown extremely hard, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their change is thrown extremely hard, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slightly above average velo.
