Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Cory Burns threw 836 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2012 and 2014, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2014, they relied primarily on their Sinker (90mph) and Change using a Circle Change grip (79mph), also mixing in a Cutter (84mph).


In 2014, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their change using a circle change grip dives down out of the zone, has below average velo, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2014) comes in below hitting speed, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has heavy sink, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action.
