St. Louis Cardinals
Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Tommy Layne threw 2,582 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2010 and 2017, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2017, they relied primarily on their Cutter (85mph) and Sinker (88mph), also mixing in a Slider (80mph), Change (82mph) and Fourseam Fastball (88mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (76mph).
In 2017, compared to other LHP:
Their cutter generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has some natural sink. Their sinker has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run and has slightly below average velo. Their slider sweeps across the zone. Their change dives down out of the zone and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2017) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has below average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2017) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite.
