Ricky Nolasco

Arizona Diamondbacks

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Ricky Nolasco threw 27,524 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2008 and 2017, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2017, they relied primarily on their Sinker (91mph), Slider (81mph) and Fourseam Fastball (91mph), also mixing in a Splitter (81mph) and Slow Curve using a Knuckle Curve grip (74mph).


In 2017, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker has some natural sinking action. Their slider has exceptional depth, has below average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their fourseam fastball has some natural sinking action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly below average velo. Their splitter generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' splitters, has some natural sink to it, has below average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' splitters. Their slow curve using a knuckle curve grip is a real yakker that's separated from their other curveball due to its big drop and slow speed.
