Doug Waechter

Kansas City Royals

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Doug Waechter threw 1,067 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2008 and 2009, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2009, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (89mph) and Slider (83mph), also mixing in a Sinker (89mph). He also rarely threw a Change (83mph).


In 2009, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has below average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has below average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2009) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
