Jake Peavy

San Francisco Giants

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Jake Peavy threw 23,867 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2016, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2016, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (90mph) and Cutter (86mph), also mixing in a Curve (79mph), Sinker (90mph) and Change using a Circle Change grip (84mph). He also rarely threw a Slider (81mph).


In 2016, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has below average velo, has some natural sinking action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slight armside run. Their cutter generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sink. Their curve is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, has little depth and is slightly harder than usual. Their sinker generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run and has slightly below average velo. Their change using a circle change grip is a prototypical pitch with few remarkable qualities. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2016) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement.
