San Diego Padres

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Kyle McGrath threw 362 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2016 and 2018, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2018, they relied primarily on their Change (78mph) and Fourseam Fastball (87mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (69mph).


In 2018, compared to other LHP:
Their change generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, has below average velo and has an extreme amount of backspin. Their fourseam fastball comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is straight as an arrow, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has some added backspin. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2018) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has primarily 12-6 movement.
