Los Angeles Dodgers
Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Russ Ortiz threw 2,016 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2010, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2010, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (91mph), also mixing in a Sinker (91mph), Curve (78mph) and Change (84mph). He also rarely threw a Slider (81mph).
In 2010, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is straight as an arrow, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly below average velo. Their sinker generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their curve is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2010) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight cut action and has a lot of backspin. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2010) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has below average velo and has some two-plane movement.
