Mark Melancon

Arizona Diamondbacks

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Mark Melancon threw 11,362 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2009 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Cutter (88mph) and Curve using a Knuckle Curve grip (78mph). He also rarely threw a Splitter (82mph).


In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their cutter is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has some natural sink. Their curve using a knuckle curve grip (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2023) has an exceptional bite, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters, has below average velo and has slight armside fade.
