Brandon Beachy

San Francisco Giants

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Brandon Beachy threw 4,698 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2010 and 2016, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2016, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (90mph) and Slider (83mph), also mixing in a Curve (73mph) and Change (82mph).


In 2016, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, explodes on the hitter, has below average velo, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2016) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has much less depth than expected and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2016) comes in below hitting speed, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2016) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has an obvious armside fade, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has an extreme amount of backspin and has slightly below average velo.
