Greg Smith

Atlanta Braves

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Greg Smith threw 3,789 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2008 and 2011, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2011, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (86mph) and Slider (82mph), also mixing in a Change (77mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (74mph).


In 2011, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball comes in below hitting speed, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slight armside run. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2011) results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has less than expected depth and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2011) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2011) has an exceptional bite, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves and has slightly below average velo.
