Cincinnati Reds

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Drew Hayes threw 219 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 Fourseam Fastball (92mph) and Slider (83mph), also mixing in a Change (84mph) and Sinker (92mph).


In 2016, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is straight as an arrow, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their slider sweeps across the zone, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 18 of them in 2016) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight cut action. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 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 surprisingly little armside run.
