Adam LaRoche

Chicago White Sox

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Adam LaRoche threw 12 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system in 2015, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2015, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (82mph), also mixing in a Curve (62mph), Change (70mph) and Slow Curve (50mph).


In 2015, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2015) comes in below hitting speed, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has much less armside movement than typical and has some natural sinking action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2015) has an exceptional bite, comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has sweeping glove-side movement and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2015) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their slow curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2015) is a real yakker that's separated from their other curveball due to its big drop and slow speed.
