Kyle Nelson

Arizona Diamondbacks

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2026, Kyle Nelson threw 2,867 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2025, they relied primarily on their Slider (84mph) and Fourseam Fastball (89mph). He also rarely threw a Cutter (86mph).


In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their slider is a prototypical pitch with few remarkable qualities. Their fourseam fastball has less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly below average velo. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action.
