Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Brandon Hughes has thrown 1,694 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 Slider (81mph), Fourseam Fastball (91mph) and Sinker (92mph). He also rarely throws a Change (86mph).


In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their slider has short glove-side cut, has less than expected depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their sinker has less armside run than typical, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups, is much firmer than usual and has slight armside fade.
