Brandon Maurer

Pittsburgh Pirates

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Brandon Maurer threw 6,527 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 (94mph) and Slider (84mph), also mixing in a Change using a Circle Change grip (85mph) and Sinker (94mph).


In 2019, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2019) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly above average velo. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2019) has exceptional depth and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change using a circle change grip (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2019) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has a lot of backspin and has slight armside fade. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 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 slight armside run and has slightly above average velo.
