Alex Claudio

Non-MLB

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Alex Claudio threw 6,338 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2014 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Sinker (85mph) and Change (72mph), also mixing in a Slider (74mph) and Cutter (78mph). He also rarely threw a Fourseam Fastball (85mph).


In 2023, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has less armside run than typical. Their change comes in below hitting speed, dives down out of the zone and results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has short glove-side cut. Their cutter comes in below hitting speed, has heavy sink, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2023) comes in below hitting speed, has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers.
