Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Josh Collmenter threw 11,336 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2011 and 2017, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2017, they relied primarily on their Cutter (85mph) and Change (77mph), also mixing in a Curve using a Knuckle Curve grip (70mph). He also rarely threw a Slider (76mph).


In 2017, compared to other RHP:
Their cutter explodes on the hitter, has extreme cut action, has below average velo, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters. Their change comes in below hitting speed, has surprising cut action, has a lot of backspin and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their curve using a knuckle curve grip comes in below hitting speed, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2017) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has much less depth than expected and has short glove-side cut.
