Ryota Igarashi

New York Yankees

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Ryota Igarashi threw 1,435 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2010 and 2012, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2012, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (96mph) and Slider (88mph), also mixing in a Curve (80mph).


In 2012, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has well above average velo. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2012) has an exceptional bite, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has primarily 12-6 movement.
