Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Clarke Schmidt has thrown 5,037 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Cutter (92mph), Sinker (95mph) and Slider (85mph), also mixing in a Curve (83mph). He also rarely throws a Change (88mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their cutter is blazing fast, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has some natural sink. Their sinker generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, has well above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their slider sweeps across the zone and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their curve is thrown extremely hard, has sweeping glove-side movement, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 18 of them in 2024) has surprising cut action, dives down out of the zone, is much firmer than usual and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
