Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Alan Busenitz has thrown 2,156 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2024, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Cutter (90mph), Slider (82mph) and Sinker (93mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (94mph), Curve (81mph) and Change (86mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their cutter is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has slightly above average velo. Their slider sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 19 of them in 2024) generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite, is slightly harder than usual and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2024) dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and is slightly firmer than usual.
