Aaron Thompson

Minnesota Twins

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Aaron Thompson threw 742 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2011 and 2015, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2015, they relied primarily on their Slider (82mph) and Fourseam Fastball (90mph), also mixing in a Change (83mph). He also rarely threw a Sinker (90mph) and Curve (75mph).


In 2015, compared to other LHP:
Their slider results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball has less armside movement than typical, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their change is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2015) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has less armside run than typical. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2015) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement and has slightly below average velo.
