Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Jared Burton threw 5,402 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2014, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2014, they relied primarily on their Change (88mph) and Fourseam Fastball (93mph), also mixing in a Slider (86mph) and Sinker (92mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (92mph).


In 2014, compared to other RHP:
Their change dives down out of the zone and is much firmer than usual. Their fourseam fastball has much less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical and has some natural sinking action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2014) is thrown extremely hard, has very little depth, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves.
