Charlie Leesman

Pittsburgh Pirates

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Charlie Leesman threw 469 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2012 and 2014, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2014, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (89mph), also mixing in a Slider (81mph), Curve (78mph), Change (78mph) and Sinker (88mph).


In 2014, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has much less armside movement than typical, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly below average velo. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2014) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2014) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, has little depth and has slight glove-side movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2014) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and has below average velo. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 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, has surprisingly little armside run, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sinking action.
