Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Griffin Canning has thrown 6,239 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph), Change (89mph) and Slider (88mph), also mixing in a Curve (81mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (92mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their change is thrown extremely hard, has an obvious armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, has exceptional depth and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their curve generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, is slightly harder than usual and has slight glove-side movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers.
