Kansas City Royals

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Brian Bannister threw 9,125 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2010, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2010, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (90mph), Cutter (88mph) and Change (84mph), also mixing in a Curve (77mph). He also rarely threw a Slow Curve (72mph) and Sinker (90mph).


In 2010, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has below average velo, has less armside movement than typical and has some natural sinking action. Their cutter generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters. Their change has some natural sink to it. Their curve has an exceptional bite and has slight glove-side movement. Their slow curve is a real yakker that's separated from their other curveball due to its big drop and slow speed. Their sinker is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slightly below average velo.
