Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Mitch Keller has thrown 9,889 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 Sinker (93mph), Fourseam Fastball (95mph) and Cutter (89mph), also mixing in a Slider (84mph) and Curve (79mph). He also rarely throws a Change (90mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly above average velo. Their cutter has heavy sink, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action. Their slider sweeps across the zone and has some two-plane movement. Their curve has an exceptional bite, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has an obvious armside fade, dives down out of the zone and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
