Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Randy Wells threw 8,467 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2008 and 2013, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2013, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (90mph), also mixing in a Slider (82mph), Change (80mph) and Sinker (88mph).


In 2013, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has below average velo and has less armside movement than typical. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2013) results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2013) has below average velo, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2013) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has below average velo.
