Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Michael Lorenzen has thrown 12,479 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2014 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (95mph), Slider (86mph) and Sinker (94mph), also mixing in a Change (85mph) and Curve (82mph). He also rarely throws a Cutter (91mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has slight armside run and has slightly above average velo. Their slider generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run and has slightly above average velo. Their change is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. Their curve generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement, is much harder than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 18 of them in 2024) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has well above average velo and has some natural sink.
