Brendan Donnelly

Pittsburgh Pirates

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Brendan Donnelly threw 1,298 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2010, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2010, they relied primarily on their Cutter (88mph) and Fourseam Fastball (91mph), also mixing in a Change (84mph). He also rarely threw a Sinker (89mph).


In 2010, compared to other RHP:
Their cutter has heavy sink and has little cutting action. Their fourseam fastball is straight as an arrow, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly below average velo. Their change generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight cut action and has a lot of backspin. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2010) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has below average velo and has less armside run than typical.
