Yovani Gallardo

Texas Rangers

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Yovani Gallardo threw 31,135 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2018, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2018, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (92mph), Sinker (92mph) and Slider (89mph), also mixing in a Change using a Circle Change grip (86mph) and Curve (80mph).


In 2018, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has essentially average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their sinker has surprisingly little armside run and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has much less depth than expected and generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change using a circle change grip is slightly firmer than usual and has slight armside fade. Their curve has primarily 12-6 movement.
