David Patton

Chicago Cubs

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, David Patton threw 506 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2009 and 2010, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2010, they relied primarily on their Sinker (88mph), also mixing in a Curve (77mph) and Change (84mph).


In 2010, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2010) is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2010) has an exceptional bite, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2010) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
