Matt Garza

Milwaukee Brewers

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Matt Garza threw 27,174 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2017, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2017, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (92mph), Sinker (92mph) and Slider (83mph), also mixing in a Curve (74mph) and Change (84mph). He also rarely threw a Splitter (91mph).


In 2017, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their sinker has less armside run than typical and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker. Their slider has some two-plane movement. Their curve has an exceptional bite, has below average velo, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their change is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, has a lot of backspin and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2017) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters and has movement that suggests an extreme amount of backspin.
