Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Ben Sheets threw 6,126 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2012, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2012, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (91mph), Curve (78mph) and Sinker (90mph), also mixing in a Splitter (82mph) and Slider (86mph).


In 2012, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly below average velo. Their curve has a sharp downward bite and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their sinker has surprisingly little armside run, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slightly below average velo. Their splitter is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' splitters and has slightly below average velo. Their slider 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.
