Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Brandon Pfaadt has thrown 6,802 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph), Slider (85mph) and Sinker (94mph), also mixing in a Change (88mph). He also rarely throws a Curve (81mph) and Splitter (90mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their slider sweeps across the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has less than expected depth. Their sinker results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their change dives down out of the zone, is much firmer than usual and has slight armside fade. Their curve is slightly harder than usual, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, has surprising cut action and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' splitters.
