Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Wesley Wright threw 5,241 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2008 and 2016, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2016, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (89mph) and Slider (86mph), also mixing in a Curve using a Knuckle Curve grip (78mph).


In 2016, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2016) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly below average velo. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2016) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, has much less depth than expected, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and is much harder than usual. Their curve using a knuckle curve grip (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2016) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement.
