Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Matt Maloney threw 1,502 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2009 and 2012, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2012, they relied primarily on their Sinker (88mph), Slider (83mph) and Fourseam Fastball (89mph), also mixing in a Change (82mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (81mph).


In 2012, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker has less armside run than typical, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slightly below average velo. Their slider has less than expected depth and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slightly below average velo and has some added backspin. Their change generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups and results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2012) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual, has little depth and has primarily 12-6 movement.
