Tim Byrdak

New York Mets

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Tim Byrdak threw 4,193 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2013, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2013, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (86mph) and Slider (80mph), also mixing in a Change (80mph).


In 2013, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball comes in below hitting speed and is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider has short glove-side cut, has less than expected depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2013) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slightly below average velo.
