Sean Poppen has thrown 2,977 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (92mph) and Slider (84mph). He also rarely throws a Change (85mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their slider results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade.
