Michel Baez

San Diego Padres

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Michel Baez threw 1,408 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph) and Change (85mph), also mixing in a Slider (84mph) and Cutter (87mph). He also rarely threw a Sinker (94mph).


In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their change results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their slider results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their cutter generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has some natural sink. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action.
