Octavio Dotel

Detroit Tigers

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Octavio Dotel threw 5,687 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2013, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2013, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (91mph), also mixing in a Slider (82mph) and Curve (78mph).


In 2013, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has slightly below average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2013) sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has below average velo and has some two-plane movement. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2013) has an exceptional bite, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement.
