Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Jake Diekman has thrown 11,555 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2012 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph) and Slider (80mph). He also rarely throws a Change (87mph).


In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 19 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, has an obvious tail, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly above average velo. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2025) sweeps across the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2025) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it.
