Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Vince Velasquez has thrown 14,306 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2015 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Slider (84mph), also mixing in a Curve (82mph), Change (88mph) and Sinker (92mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has much less armside movement than typical and has essentially average velo. Their slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their curve is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement, is slightly harder than usual and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their change is much firmer than usual, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has less armside run than typical.
