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 is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical and has slightly below average velo. Their sinker has surprisingly little armside run, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker. Their slider is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual and has less than expected depth. Their change using a circle change grip (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2018) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has a lot of backspin and is slightly firmer than usual. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2018) results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has little depth and has primarily 12-6 movement.
