Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Dale Thayer threw 4,264 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2009 and 2015, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2015, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph), also mixing in a Slider (83mph) and Change (84mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (94mph).


In 2015, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, has essentially average velo and has slight armside run. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth and results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change dives down out of the zone, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2015) is thrown extremely hard, has very little depth, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves.
