Ron Villone

Washington Nationals

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Ron Villone threw 1,977 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2009, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2009, they relied primarily on their Sinker (89mph), Slider (83mph) and Fourseam Fastball (90mph), also mixing in a Change (83mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (79mph).


In 2009, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their slider has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slightly below average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their change dives down out of the zone and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2009) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves and is slightly harder than usual.
