Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Brian Duensing threw 12,317 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2009 and 2018, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2018, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (92mph) and Sinker (91mph), also mixing in a Slider (81mph), Change (86mph) and Curve (72mph).


In 2018, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball has much less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their sinker is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical and has some natural sinking action. Their slider sweeps across the zone, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their change generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, is much firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it. Their curve has an exceptional bite, has below average velo and has slight glove-side movement.
