Kelvin Jimenez

Chicago White Sox

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Kelvin Jimenez threw 763 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2008, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2008, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph) and Slider (86mph), also mixing in a Change (84mph). He also rarely threw a Cutter (83mph).


In 2008, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and has slight armside run. Their slider results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change has surprising cut action, dives down out of the zone and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2008) comes in below hitting speed, has heavy sink, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has surprisingly little cutting action.
