Kyle Lloyd

San Diego Padres

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2025, Kyle Lloyd threw 98 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system in 2017, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2017, they relied primarily on their Sinker (86mph) and Splitter (80mph), also mixing in a Slider (81mph). He also rarely threw a Fourseam Fastball (86mph).


In 2017, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker. Their splitter comes in below hitting speed, has surprising cut action and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 19 of them in 2017) has below average velo and has less than expected depth. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2017) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical and has some added backspin.
