Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Blake Taylor has thrown 2,653 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph), also mixing in a Slider (85mph), Change (89mph) and Sinker (92mph).


In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is straight as an arrow, has some natural sinking action and has slightly above average velo. Their slider has short glove-side cut, is much harder than usual and has some two-plane movement. Their change is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2024) has surprisingly little armside run and has slightly above average velo.
