Ildemaro Vargas

Washington Nationals

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Ildemaro Vargas threw 34 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2023, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Change (46mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (70mph). He also rarely threw a Slider (58mph).


In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their change comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, has a lot of backspin and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2023) comes in below hitting speed, has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2023) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement.
