Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Angel Zerpa has thrown 1,534 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2024, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (95mph) and Fourseam Fastball (95mph), also mixing in a Slider (87mph), Change (88mph) and Curve (84mph).


In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has heavy sinking action, is blazing fast and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has well above average velo. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their change is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves and has little depth.
