Joe Saunders

Seattle Mariners

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Joe Saunders threw 21,103 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 (92mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (91mph), Slider (83mph), Change (82mph) and Curve (76mph).


In 2014, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their fourseam fastball generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider is a prototypical pitch with few remarkable qualities. Their change is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their curve is a prototypical pitch with few remarkable qualities.
