Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Daniel Ponce de Leon threw 4,832 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2018 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (91mph), also mixing in a Slider (80mph), Change (84mph) and Cutter (86mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (73mph).


In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly below average velo. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their change results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. Their cutter generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sink. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2023) has an exceptional bite, comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves.
