John Ely

Milwaukee Brewers

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, John Ely threw 2,056 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2010 and 2012, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2012, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (90mph) and Change (83mph). He also rarely threw a Cutter (89mph) and Curve (73mph).


In 2012, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly below average velo. Their change has surprising cut action and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2012) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has some natural sink. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2012) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has primarily 12-6 movement.
