Carlos Villanueva

San Diego Padres

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Carlos Villanueva threw 14,204 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 Fourseam Fastball (89mph) and Slider (83mph), also mixing in a Sinker (89mph), Change (83mph) and Curve (74mph). He also rarely threw a Slow Curve (67mph).


In 2016, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has below average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker has below average velo, has little sinking action compared to a true sinker and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their change has slight cut action. Their curve has below average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their slow curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2016) is a real yakker that's separated from their other curveball due to its big drop and slow speed.
