Brett Cecil

St. Louis Cardinals

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Brett Cecil threw 12,044 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2009 and 2020, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2020, they relied primarily on their Curve using a Knuckle Curve grip (79mph), Fourseam Fastball (87mph) and Cutter (82mph).


In 2020, compared to other LHP:
Their curve using a knuckle curve grip (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2020) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has sweeping glove-side movement, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and is slightly harder than usual. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2020) comes in below hitting speed, has heavy sinking action, is straight as an arrow and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2020) comes in below hitting speed, has heavy sink, has sweeping cut action and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters.
