Kansas City Royals

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Dan Wheeler threw 4,105 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2013, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2013, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (91mph), also mixing in a Slider (86mph), Curve (78mph) and Splitter (85mph).


In 2013, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly below average velo. Their slider is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has much less depth than expected and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2013) is a prototypical pitch with few remarkable qualities. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2013) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' splitters and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters.
