Miami Marlins

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, José Fernández threw 7,291 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2013 and 2016, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2016, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (96mph) and Curve (85mph), also mixing in a Change (89mph). He also rarely threw a Sinker (93mph), Slow Curve (75mph) and Cutter (84mph).


In 2016, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has well above average velo. Their curve is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, has very little depth, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement. Their change is much firmer than usual, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their slow curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2016) is a real yakker that's separated from their other curveball due to its big drop and slow speed.
