Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Justus Sheffield threw 6,332 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 Slider (83mph) and Sinker (92mph), also mixing in a Change (86mph) and Fourseam Fastball (91mph).


In 2023, compared to other LHP:
Their slider sweeps across the zone, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker has surprisingly little armside run, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their change is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, dives down out of the zone, is much firmer than usual and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has much less armside movement than typical and has essentially average velo.
