Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Aaron Sanchez threw 13,219 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2014 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (92mph) and Sinker (91mph), also mixing in a Curve (77mph), Slider (79mph) and Change (86mph). He also rarely threw a Cutter (87mph).


In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slight armside run. Their sinker generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their curve generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has slight glove-side movement. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change is slightly firmer than usual, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 19 of them in 2023) has heavy sink, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has little cutting action and has slightly below average velo.
