Tsuyoshi Wada

Chicago Cubs

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Tsuyoshi Wada threw 1,697 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2014 and 2015, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2015, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (89mph), also mixing in a Sinker (88mph), Splitter (81mph), Slider (82mph) and Curve (73mph). He also rarely threw a Cutter (85mph).


In 2015, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball has slightly below average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their sinker has less armside run than typical, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slightly below average velo. Their splitter has dives down out of the zone, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' splitters and has below average velo. Their slider generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their curve is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, has little depth and has slightly below average velo. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2015) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has good "rise".
