New York Yankees

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, James Norwood threw 1,668 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2018 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (96mph) and Splitter (88mph), also mixing in a Slider (86mph). He also rarely threw a Cutter (92mph).


In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has well above average velo, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slight armside run. Their splitter is thrown extremely hard, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' splitters, has some natural sink to it and has slight armside fade. Their slider results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is blazing fast, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has surprisingly little cutting action and has good "rise".
