Non-MLB

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2025, Danny Salazar threw 10,351 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2013 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2024, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (88mph), Slider (84mph) and Change (82mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball comes in below hitting speed, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has some natural sinking action. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has much less depth than expected and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slightly below average velo.
