Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Carl Pavano threw 11,295 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2008 and 2012, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2012, they relied primarily on their Sinker (88mph) and Splitter (80mph), also mixing in a Slider (83mph) and Fourseam Fastball (87mph).


In 2012, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their splitter comes in below hitting speed, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' splitters, has some natural sink to it and has slight armside fade. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has primarily 12-6 movement, has less than expected depth and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their fourseam fastball comes in below hitting speed, has some natural sinking action and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers.
