Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Ryan Rowland-Smith threw 6,184 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 Fourseam Fastball (89mph) and Curve (75mph), also mixing in a Slider (81mph) and Sinker (89mph). He also rarely threw a Change (81mph).


In 2014, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly below average velo. Their curve is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, has slight glove-side movement and has slightly below average velo. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2014) generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has less than expected depth. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2014) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical and has slightly below average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2014) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it.
