Johnny Barbato

Toronto Blue Jays

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2025, Johnny Barbato threw 890 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2013 and 2018, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2018, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (95mph) and Slider (86mph), also mixing in a Splitter (85mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (80mph).


In 2018, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly above average velo. Their slider is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, has primarily 12-6 movement and has some two-plane movement. Their splitter has some natural sink to it and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' splitters. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2018) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite, is slightly harder than usual and has slight glove-side movement.
