San Francisco Giants
Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Clay Rapada threw 1,582 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2014, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2014, they relied primarily on their Slider (75mph), Sinker (84mph) and Fourseam Fastball (85mph).
In 2014, compared to other LHP:
Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2014) comes in below hitting speed, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has less than expected depth and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2014) is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2014) comes in below hitting speed, has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slight armside run.
