Phillips Valdez

Non-MLB

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Phillips Valdez threw 3,647 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Sinker (93mph) and Change (86mph), also mixing in a Slider (83mph). He also rarely threw a Fourseam Fastball (93mph).


In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action and has slight armside run. Their change dives down out of the zone, is slightly firmer than usual and has slight armside fade. Their slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has exceptional depth. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo.
