Fernando Salas

Non-MLB

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Fernando Salas threw 8,563 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2010 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (89mph) and Change (85mph), also mixing in a Slider (82mph).


In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2023) comes in below hitting speed, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, explodes on the hitter, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has less than expected depth and has primarily 12-6 movement.
