Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Yency Almonte has thrown 4,401 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (94mph) and Slider (82mph), also mixing in a Cutter (93mph) and Fourseam Fastball (94mph). He also rarely throws a Change (89mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker has an obvious tail, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their cutter is blazing fast, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters, has good "rise" and has little cutting action. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2024) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly above average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 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, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it.
