Toronto Blue Jays

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Mark Buehrle threw 27,170 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2015, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2015, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (84mph), Change (79mph) and Sinker (84mph), also mixing in a Cutter (80mph) and Curve (72mph). He also rarely threw a Slider (80mph).


In 2015, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball comes in below hitting speed, has heavy sinking action, is straight as an arrow, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their change has below average velo, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their cutter comes in below hitting speed, has heavy sink, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, has extreme cut action and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters. Their curve comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2015) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has primarily 12-6 movement, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has less than expected depth.
