Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Tom Gorzelanny threw 11,310 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2016, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2016, they relied primarily on their Sinker (91mph) and Slider (79mph), also mixing in a Change (84mph). He also rarely threw a Fourseam Fastball (90mph) and Curve (77mph).


In 2016, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker has slight armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their slider sweeps across the zone, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has below average velo and has some two-plane movement. Their change dives down out of the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual and has slight armside fade. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2016) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has slight armside run and has slightly below average velo. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2016) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has sweeping glove-side movement and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves.
