Detroit Tigers
Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Kevin Chapman threw 941 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2013 and 2016, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2016, they relied primarily on their Sinker (91mph) and Slider (79mph), also mixing in a Change (85mph) and Curve (73mph). He also rarely threw a Fourseam Fastball (93mph).
In 2016, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut, has below average velo, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their change generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and is much firmer than usual. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2016) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, has sweeping glove-side movement, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves and has below average velo. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2016) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is straight as an arrow, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly above average velo.
