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 sweeping glove-side movement, has below average velo, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their cutter is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has slightly above average velo. Their change generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2014) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters, has slight cut action and has movement that suggests a lot of backspin.
