Dan Haren

Chicago Cubs

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Dan Haren threw 28,527 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2015, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2015, they relied primarily on their Cutter (84mph) and Sinker (87mph), also mixing in a Curve using a Knuckle Curve grip (77mph), Fourseam Fastball (87mph) and Splitter (82mph).


In 2015, compared to other RHP:
Their cutter comes in below hitting speed, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action. Their sinker is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, has surprisingly little armside run, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has little sinking action compared to a true sinker and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their curve using a knuckle curve grip is a prototypical pitch with few remarkable qualities. Their fourseam fastball comes in below hitting speed, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their splitter generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' splitters, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' splitters, has movement that suggests a lot of backspin and has slightly below average velo.
