Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Chris Volstad threw 12,492 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2008 and 2018, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2018, they relied primarily on their Sinker (92mph) and Curve (82mph), also mixing in a Change (84mph). He also rarely threw a Fourseam Fastball (92mph) and Cutter (87mph).


In 2018, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their curve is slightly harder than usual. Their change is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. Their fourseam fastball is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2018) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has little cutting action, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sink.
