Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Jake Diekman has thrown 10,994 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2012 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph) and Slider (83mph), also mixing in a Change (87mph).


In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has an obvious tail and has well above average velo. Their slider sweeps across the zone, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, dives down out of the zone and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups.
