Matt Stites

Arizona Diamondbacks

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Matt Stites threw 812 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2013 and 2015, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2015, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph) and Slider (86mph), also mixing in a Change (86mph). He also rarely threw a Sinker (92mph).


In 2015, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball results in many more groundballs 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 fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their change generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight cut action, has a lot of backspin, is slightly firmer than usual and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2015) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run.
