Ben Taylor

Detroit Tigers

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Ben Taylor threw 502 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2021, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2021, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Slider (86mph), also mixing in a Change (85mph).


In 2021, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2021) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and has slight armside run. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2021) has less than expected depth and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2021) is basically never swung at and missed 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.
