Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Josh Beckett threw 18,328 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2014, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2014, they relied primarily on their Curve (74mph) and Fourseam Fastball (93mph), also mixing in a Cutter (91mph), Change (86mph) and Sinker (93mph). He also rarely threw a Splitter (85mph) and Slider (72mph).


In 2014, compared to other RHP:
Their curve has an exceptional bite, has below average velo and has slight glove-side movement. Their fourseam fastball has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their cutter generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters and has slightly above average velo. Their change is slightly firmer than usual, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2014) has surprising cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters and has movement that suggests an extreme amount of backspin. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2014) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders.
