Dustin Richardson

Los Angeles Dodgers

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Dustin Richardson threw 340 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2009 and 2010, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2010, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (91mph), also mixing in a Slider (79mph). He also rarely threw a Change (83mph) and Sinker (92mph).


In 2010, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball is straight as an arrow, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their slider has exceptional depth, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has below average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2010) has surprising cut action, dives down out of the zone and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2010) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has slightly above average velo.
