Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Bartolo Colon threw 22,959 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2018, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2018, they relied primarily on their Sinker (87mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (90mph), Change (81mph) and Slider (81mph). He also rarely threw a Cutter (86mph).


In 2018, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2018) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has some natural sinking action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2018) results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sink to it. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2018) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut, has below average velo and has some two-plane movement.
