Ricardo Rodríguez

Non-MLB

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Ricardo Rodríguez threw 335 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2018, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2018, they relied primarily on their Slider (86mph) and Fourseam Fastball (95mph), also mixing in a Sinker (95mph) and Curve (78mph).


In 2018, compared to other RHP:
Their slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has exceptional depth. Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has slightly above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2018) has well above average velo and has less armside run than typical. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2018) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves.
