Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Michael Grove has thrown 3,246 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Slider (87mph), also mixing in a Sinker (96mph), Cutter (93mph) and Slow Curve (80mph). He also rarely throws a Fourseam Fastball (95mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 19 of them in 2024) generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo, has less armside run than typical and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is blazing fast, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has good "rise" and has strong cutting action. Their slow curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2024) is a real yakker that's separated from their other curveball due to its big drop and slow speed.
