Michael Kelly has thrown 2,124 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Slider (83mph) and Fourseam Fastball (96mph), also mixing in a Cutter (90mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (95mph) and Change (89mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their slider sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has well above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their cutter has heavy sink, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly above average velo and has strong cutting action. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo, has slight armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2025) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
