Phil Klein

Philadelphia Phillies

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Phil Klein threw 1,036 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2014 and 2016, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2016, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph), also mixing in a Cutter (87mph), Sinker (92mph), Slider (84mph) and Change (86mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (79mph).


In 2016, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their cutter is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters. Their sinker results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their slider is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their change generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight cut action and is slightly firmer than usual. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2016) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves.
