Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Jess Todd threw 553 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2009 and 2010, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2010, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (90mph) and Slider (83mph), also mixing in a Change (83mph). He also rarely threw a Sinker (90mph).


In 2010, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, has below average velo and has less armside movement than typical. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2010) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, dives down out of the zone and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2010) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sinking action.
