Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Scott Copeland threw 262 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2015 and 2018, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2018, they relied primarily on their Slider (79mph) and Sinker (90mph), also mixing in a Change (83mph) and Fourseam Fastball (91mph).


In 2018, compared to other RHP:
Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2018) comes in below hitting speed, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2018) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical and has slightly below average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2018) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight cut action. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2018) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slight armside run and has slightly below average velo.
