Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Seth Maness threw 3,683 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2013 and 2017, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and the MLB Postseason. In 2017, they relied primarily on their Sinker using a One-seam Fastball grip (88mph) and Change (82mph), also mixing in a Slider (79mph) and Fourseam Fastball (88mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (88mph).


In 2017, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker using a one-seam fastball grip is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers and results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their change is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, has exceptional depth and results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2017) comes in below hitting speed, has heavy sinking action, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slight armside run. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2017) is thrown extremely hard, has very little depth, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves.
