Philip Humber

San Diego Padres

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Philip Humber threw 6,239 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2014, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2014, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph), also mixing in a Curve (82mph). He also rarely threw a Change (88mph).


In 2014, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slight armside run and has slightly above average velo. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2014) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite, is slightly harder than usual and has slight glove-side movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2014) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, is much firmer than usual and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
