Danny Hultzen

Chicago Cubs

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Danny Hultzen threw 92 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2013 and 2019, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2019, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph), Slider (80mph) and Sinker (93mph), also mixing in a Change (83mph).


In 2019, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly above average velo. Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2019) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2019) dives down out of the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade.
