Elvin Rodriguez

Tampa Bay Rays

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Elvin Rodriguez threw 1,375 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph) and Slider (83mph), also mixing in a Change (86mph) and Curve (77mph). He also rarely threw a Cutter (91mph) and Sinker (94mph).


In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual and has slight armside fade. Their curve generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has well above average velo and has little cutting action. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has slightly above average velo.
