Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Aaron Civale has thrown 8,648 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Cutter (88mph) and Sinker (92mph), also mixing in a Curve (77mph), Fourseam Fastball (92mph) and Slider (80mph). He also rarely throws a Change (85mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their cutter generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their sinker results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their curve has an exceptional bite, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement. Their fourseam fastball has less armside movement than typical and has essentially average velo. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2024) results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it.
