Joel Pineiro

Toronto Blue Jays

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Joel Pineiro threw 10,656 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2017, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2017, they relied primarily on their Sinker (87mph) and Cutter (83mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (88mph). He also rarely threw a Change (86mph).


In 2017, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2017) is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical and has some natural sinking action. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2017) comes in below hitting speed, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has heavy sink and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2017) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2017) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has a lot of backspin and is slightly firmer than usual.
