Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Daniel Lynch IV has thrown 5,542 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Change (84mph), also mixing in a Cutter (87mph), Curve (79mph) and Sinker (93mph).


In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo. Their change generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight cut action, is slightly firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2024) results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly above average velo, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2024) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, has little depth, is slightly harder than usual and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2024) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical and has slightly above average velo.
