David Carpenter

Atlanta Braves

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, David Carpenter threw 852 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2012 and 2015, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2015, they relied primarily on their Sinker (89mph) and Slider (79mph). He also rarely threw a Fourseam Fastball (88mph).


In 2015, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has heavy sinking action, has surprisingly little armside run, has below average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2015) comes in below hitting speed, has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly less natural movement than typical.
