Joba Chamberlain

Milwaukee Brewers

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Joba Chamberlain threw 9,480 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2016, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2016, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph) and Slider (86mph), also mixing in a Curve (81mph). He also rarely threw a Sinker (92mph).


In 2016, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action and has slightly above average velo. Their slider generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, has primarily 12-6 movement and has some two-plane movement. Their curve generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite, is slightly harder than usual, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2016) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action.
