Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Chris Schwinden threw 538 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2011 and 2012, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2012, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (90mph), also mixing in a Cutter (87mph), Curve (76mph), Sinker (89mph) and Change (83mph). He also rarely threw a Slider (82mph).


In 2012, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is straight as an arrow, has below average velo, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has some added backspin. Their cutter is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action. Their curve is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement and has slightly below average velo. Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, has below average velo and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2012) has slight cut action and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2012) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has short glove-side cut.
