Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Keith Foulke threw 518 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system in 2008, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2008, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (87mph) and Slider (80mph), also mixing in a Change (77mph) and Sinker (85mph).


In 2008, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball comes in below hitting speed, has less armside movement than typical, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has some added backspin. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has less than expected depth. Their change comes in below hitting speed and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their sinker is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has less armside run than typical.
