Kerry Wood

Chicago Cubs

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Kerry Wood threw 4,292 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 Fourseam Fastball (95mph) and Cutter (91mph), also mixing in a Curve (77mph). He also rarely threw a Slider (81mph) and Change (90mph).


In 2012, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has slightly above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their cutter results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly above average velo and has strong cutting action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2012) has an exceptional bite, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has sweeping glove-side movement and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2012) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has below average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2012) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade.
