Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Tommy Hanson threw 11,869 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2009 and 2014, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2014, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (91mph), Slider (82mph) and Sinker (90mph), also mixing in a Curve (73mph) and Change (82mph).


In 2014, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has less armside movement than typical, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly below average velo. Their slider is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, has little sinking action compared to a true sinker, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slightly below average velo. Their curve has an exceptional bite, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has below average velo, 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 13 of them in 2014) has surprising cut action, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has a lot of backspin.
