Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Matt Palmer threw 3,333 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2008 and 2012, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2012, they relied primarily on their Cutter (89mph) and Sinker (92mph), also mixing in a Curve (79mph). He also rarely threw a Change (86mph).


In 2012, compared to other RHP:
Their cutter generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has heavy sink, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action. Their sinker generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2012) has an exceptional bite, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2012) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and is slightly firmer than usual.
