Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Luke Farrell threw 2,985 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Slider (82mph), Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Cutter (88mph), also mixing in a Curve (79mph) and Sinker (91mph). He also rarely threw a Change (83mph).


In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their slider has exceptional depth and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo. Their cutter generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their curve is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite. Their sinker results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
