Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Tim Wakefield threw 10,628 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2011, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2011, they relied primarily on their Knuckleball (66mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (73mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (61mph).


In 2011, compared to other RHP:
Their knuckleball flutters and floats unpredictably toward the plate. Their fourseam fastball comes in below hitting speed, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slight armside run. Their curve has an exceptional bite, comes in below hitting speed and has sweeping glove-side movement.
