Ljay Newsome

San Francisco Giants

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Ljay Newsome threw 580 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 and 2022, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2022, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (91mph) and Change (85mph), also mixing in a Curve (79mph).


In 2022, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has an obvious tail, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly below average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2022) generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2022) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, has very little depth, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves.
