Joe Martinez

Los Angeles Angels

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Joe Martinez threw 968 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2009 and 2013, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2013, they relied primarily on their Sinker (90mph) and Curve (82mph), also mixing in a Change (79mph) and Cutter (88mph). He also rarely threw a Fourseam Fastball (90mph).


In 2013, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slightly below average velo. Their curve has primarily 12-6 movement, is much harder than usual, has little depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2013) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, has below average velo, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2013) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has surprisingly little cutting action. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2013) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has below average velo and has slight armside run.
