Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Shane Bieber has thrown 13,267 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2018 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (92mph) and Slider (86mph), also mixing in a Change (90mph), Curve (83mph) and Cutter (87mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo. Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, has primarily 12-6 movement and has some two-plane movement. Their change is thrown extremely hard, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs 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 18 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has some natural sink.
