Steve Johnson

Chicago White Sox

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Steve Johnson threw 1,380 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2012 and 2016, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2016, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (89mph), also mixing in a Curve (64mph). He also rarely threw a Slider (79mph) and Change (80mph).


In 2016, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has much less armside movement than typical and has below average velo. Their curve has an exceptional bite, comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2016) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2016) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has below average velo, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has a lot of backspin.
