Felipe Vázquez

Pittsburgh Pirates

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Felipe Vázquez threw 5,314 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2015 and 2019, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2019, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (98mph), also mixing in a Slider (87mph), Curve (82mph) and Change (89mph). He also rarely threw a Sinker (98mph).


In 2019, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair and generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, sweeps across the zone, has less than expected depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their curve is thrown extremely hard and has sweeping glove-side movement. Their change is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight cut action. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2019) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has heavy sinking action, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has less armside run than typical.
