San Diego Padres
Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Rich Hill threw 21,109 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2007 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (88mph) and Curve (72mph), also mixing in a Cutter (83mph) and Slider (71mph). He also rarely threw a Sinker (86mph), Change (83mph), Splitter (83mph) and Slow Curve (65mph).
In 2023, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball has below average velo, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has less armside movement than typical. Their curve has an exceptional bite, has sweeping glove-side movement, has below average velo, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their cutter has extreme cut action, has below average velo, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has some natural sink. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their change is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their splitter is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, has some natural sink to it and has slightly below average velo. Their slow curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2023) is a real yakker that's separated from their other curveball due to its big drop and slow speed.
