Kansas City Royals

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Blaine Boyer threw 7,064 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2018, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2018, they relied primarily on their Slider (88mph) and Fourseam Fastball (93mph), also mixing in a Sinker (93mph) and Curve (77mph). He also rarely threw a Change (86mph).


In 2018, compared to other RHP:
Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual and has less than expected depth. Their fourseam fastball generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their sinker generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their curve is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2018) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it.
