New York Mets

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Joe Nathan threw 6,989 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2016, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2016, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (92mph) and Slider (86mph), also mixing in a Sinker (92mph) and Curve (79mph). He also rarely threw a Change (85mph).


In 2016, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2016) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2016) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2016) results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
