Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Bruce Zimmermann has thrown 4,877 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Slider (84mph) and Change (84mph), also mixing in a Sinker (89mph), Fourseam Fastball (89mph) and Curve (81mph).


In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, has primarily 12-6 movement, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2024) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, is much firmer than usual, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2024) has heavy sinking action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has much less armside movement than typical and has essentially average velo. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite.
