Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Kris Benson threw 728 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2009 and 2010, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2010, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (89mph) and Slider (82mph), also mixing in a Change using a Circle Change grip (81mph) and Curve (74mph).


In 2010, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, has below average velo, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slight armside run. Their slider generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change using a circle change grip results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sink to it. Their curve is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement, has below average velo and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves.
