Vicente Padilla

Boston Red Sox

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Vicente Padilla threw 9,334 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2012, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2012, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Sinker (94mph), also mixing in a Splitter (86mph) and Slow Curve (54mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (77mph).


In 2012, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their sinker has slightly above average velo. Their splitter is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, has surprising cut action, has some natural sink to it, is slightly firmer than usual and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' splitters. Their slow curve is a real yakker that's separated from their other curveball due to its big drop and slow speed. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 18 of them in 2012) has a sharp downward bite.
