Juan Minaya

Pittsburgh Pirates

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Juan Minaya threw 3,582 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2016 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph), Change (88mph) and Slider (84mph).


In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their change is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups and is much firmer than usual. Their slider is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has primarily 12-6 movement and has some two-plane movement.
