Cincinnati Reds

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Adam Russell threw 1,660 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2008 and 2011, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2011, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (95mph) and Slider (86mph). He also rarely threw a Change (85mph).


In 2011, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has slight armside run and has slightly above average velo. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and is slightly firmer than usual.
