Justin Shafer

Miami Marlins

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Justin Shafer threw 990 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2018 and 2020, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2020, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (91mph) and Slider (84mph), also mixing in a Sinker (90mph) and Curve (77mph).


In 2020, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical and has slightly below average velo. Their slider is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2020) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slightly below average velo. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2020) has an exceptional bite, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves.
