Mike Ekstrom

Los Angeles Angels

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Mike Ekstrom threw 1,021 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2008 and 2013, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2013, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph), also mixing in a Change (84mph) and Slider (86mph).


In 2013, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2013) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2013) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2013) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement.
