Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Mitch Spence has thrown 3,000 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 Cutter (92mph) and Slider (85mph), also mixing in a Curve (80mph) and Sinker (95mph). He also rarely throws a Fourseam Fastball (94mph) and Change (90mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their cutter has heavy sink, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has well above average velo and has strong cutting action. Their slider sweeps across the zone and has exceptional depth. Their curve has an exceptional bite, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement. Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, has well above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2024) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical and has essentially average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight cut action.
