Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2025, Jake Buchanan threw 1,164 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2014 and 2019, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2019, they relied primarily on their Sinker (89mph), also mixing in a Cutter (85mph), Curve (76mph) and Change (82mph).


In 2019, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2019) has surprisingly little armside run, has below average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2019) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has below average velo. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2019) 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, has primarily 12-6 movement and has slightly below average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2019) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
