San Diego Padres
Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Jeff Suppan threw 9,016 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2012, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2012, they relied primarily on their Sinker (87mph) and Cutter (83mph), also mixing in a Splitter (81mph), Curve (71mph) and Fourseam Fastball (87mph).
In 2012, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has less armside run than typical. Their cutter comes in below hitting speed, has heavy sink, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters. Their splitter comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters and has slight armside fade. Their curve has an exceptional bite, comes in below hitting speed, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their fourseam fastball comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly less natural movement than typical.
