Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Paul Maholm threw 18,563 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2014, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2014, they relied primarily on their Sinker (88mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (88mph), Curve (73mph), Slider (81mph), Change (81mph) and Cutter (84mph). He also rarely threw a Slow Curve (65mph).


In 2014, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their fourseam fastball has below average velo, has some natural sinking action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their curve is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has below average velo, has a sharp downward bite, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their change dives down out of the zone, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their cutter has slightly below average velo, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their slow curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2014) is a real yakker that's separated from their other curveball due to its big drop and slow speed.
