Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Matt Bush threw 3,859 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2016 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (95mph) and Curve (77mph), also mixing in a Slider (86mph). He also rarely threw a Sinker (95mph).


In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slightly above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their curve generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite. Their slider results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has less than expected depth. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 18 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo, has less armside run than typical and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker.
