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 is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and has slight armside run. Their change generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2014) has heavy sink, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has slightly below average velo. Their curve using a knuckle curve grip (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2014) has an exceptional bite, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slightly below average velo. 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.
