Brian Sweeney

Seattle Mariners

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Brian Sweeney threw 513 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2010 and 2011, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2011, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (86mph), also mixing in a Change (78mph) and Cutter (84mph).


In 2011, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2011) comes in below hitting speed, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has less armside movement than typical. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2011) comes in below hitting speed, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2011) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, has sweeping cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has some natural sink.
