Chad Bell

Atlanta Braves

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Chad Bell threw 1,310 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2018, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2018, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph) and Slider (85mph), also mixing in a Curve (81mph) and Sinker (94mph). He also rarely threw a Change (87mph).


In 2018, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action and has well above average velo. Their slider generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 19 of them in 2018) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves and has little depth. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2018) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has well above average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2018) is thrown extremely hard, has surprising cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it.
