Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Michael Plassmeyer has thrown 2,830 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (89mph) and Slider (77mph), also mixing in a Cutter (86mph) and Change (84mph).


In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball has essentially average velo. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, sweeps across the zone and has some two-plane movement. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 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 strong cutting action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual and has slight armside fade.
