Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Zach Eflin has thrown 13,798 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2016 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (92mph), also mixing in a Curve (80mph), Cutter (88mph), Slider (81mph) and Fourseam Fastball (93mph). He also rarely throws a Change (89mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has heavy sinking action, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run. Their curve is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves, is slightly harder than usual and has slight glove-side movement. Their cutter is basically never swung at and missed 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 slider sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, has below average velo and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has an obvious armside fade, dives down out of the zone and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
