Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Marco Estrada threw 21,497 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2008 and 2019, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2019, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (87mph) and Change using a Circle Change grip (76mph), also mixing in a Cutter (84mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (75mph).


In 2019, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball comes in below hitting speed, explodes on the hitter, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their change using a circle change grip comes in below hitting speed, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has an extreme amount of backspin. Their cutter comes in below hitting speed, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2019) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite, has primarily 12-6 movement and has slightly below average velo.
