Matt Barnes has thrown 8,777 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2014 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Curve (82mph) and Fourseam Fastball (92mph), also mixing in a Splitter (87mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 19 of them in 2024) 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 fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and has slight armside run. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters, is much firmer than usual and has slight armside fade.
