James Parr

Atlanta Braves

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, James Parr threw 700 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2008 and 2009, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2009, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (91mph), also mixing in a Change (82mph) and Slider (80mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (76mph).


In 2009, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is straight as an arrow, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slightly below average velo and has some added backspin. Their change is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight cut action, has a lot of backspin, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slightly below average velo. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2009) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has little depth and has slightly below average velo.
