Shaun Marcum

Cleveland Guardians

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Shaun Marcum threw 14,337 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2015, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2015, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (86mph) and Cutter (84mph), also mixing in a Change using a Circle Change grip (80mph), Sinker (86mph) and Curve (72mph).


In 2015, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball comes in below hitting speed, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their cutter comes in below hitting speed, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action. Their change using a circle change grip generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, has below average velo, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2015) is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has less armside run than typical. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2015) comes in below hitting speed, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite.
