Kenley Jansen

Detroit Tigers

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2026, Kenley Jansen threw 15,995 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2010 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2025, they relied primarily on their Cutter (93mph), also mixing in a Slider (83mph) and Sinker (93mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their cutter explodes on the hitter, is blazing fast and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters. Their slider has exceptional depth and has short glove-side cut. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slightly above average velo and has virtually no sinking action reminiscent of a true sinker.
