Miami Marlins

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Gio González threw 33,346 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2008 and 2020, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2020, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (90mph) and Change (83mph), also mixing in a Curve (77mph) and Sinker (89mph). He also rarely threw a Slider (85mph).


In 2020, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their change is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone and generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their curve has an exceptional bite, has sweeping glove-side movement, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves. Their sinker generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical and has some natural sinking action. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2020) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and is much harder than usual.
