Joe Kelly has thrown 14,812 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2012 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (98mph) and Slider (91mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (98mph) and Curve using a Knuckle Curve grip (89mph). He also rarely throws a Change (89mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, has an obvious tail, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, sweeps across the zone, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slight armside run. Their curve using a knuckle curve grip is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses 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. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it.
