Juan Nicasio

Non-MLB

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Juan Nicasio threw 12,645 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2011 and 2020, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2020, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Slider (85mph). He also rarely threw a Change (85mph).


In 2020, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2020) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has a lot of backspin and is slightly firmer than usual.
