Alex Hinshaw

Toronto Blue Jays

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Alex Hinshaw threw 1,523 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2008 and 2012, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2012, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Slider (85mph), also mixing in a Curve (77mph). He also rarely threw a Change (87mph).


In 2012, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slightly above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their slider results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their curve generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has slight glove-side movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2012) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and has a lot of backspin.
