Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Sean Hjelle has thrown 4,260 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2024, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (94mph) and Slider (85mph), also mixing in a Cutter (93mph). He also rarely throws a Change (90mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo and has slight armside run. Their slider has exceptional depth. Their cutter is blazing fast, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has surprisingly little cutting action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it.
