Vic Black

San Francisco Giants

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Vic Black threw 845 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2013 and 2014, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2014, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (97mph) and Curve (83mph), also mixing in a Sinker (96mph). He also rarely threw a Change (90mph).


In 2014, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has much less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action, has well above average velo and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their curve generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is blazing fast and has less armside run than typical. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2014) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it.
