Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Felipe Paulino threw 7,251 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2014, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2014, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph), also mixing in a Change (86mph), Slider (85mph), Cutter (87mph) and Curve using a Knuckle Curve grip (77mph). He also rarely threw a Sinker (93mph).


In 2014, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly above average velo. Their change has surprising cut action and is slightly firmer than usual. Their slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their cutter has heavy sink, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly below average velo and has strong cutting action. Their curve using a knuckle curve grip results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2014) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has surprisingly little armside run.
