Gil Meche

Kansas City Royals

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Gil Meche threw 8,492 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2010, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2010, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph), also mixing in a Cutter (87mph), Curve (78mph) and Change (84mph). He also rarely threw a Slider (90mph).


In 2010, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo. Their cutter has heavy sink, has extreme cut action, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has slightly below average velo. Their curve has an exceptional bite, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their change has slight cut action, has a lot of backspin and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2010) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has much less depth than expected and has primarily 12-6 movement.
