Eric Gagne

Los Angeles Dodgers

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Eric Gagne threw 1,470 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2008, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2008, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Change using a Vulcan Change grip (86mph), also mixing in a Sinker (93mph) and Curve (71mph). He also rarely threw a Slider (83mph).


In 2008, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has essentially average velo, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has some added backspin. Their change using a vulcan change grip is slightly firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker. Their curve has an exceptional bite, comes in below hitting speed, has sweeping glove-side movement and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2008) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement.
