Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Michael Pineda threw 16,098 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2010 and 2022, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2022, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (90mph) and Slider (81mph), also mixing in a Change (86mph).


In 2022, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has below average velo, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has below average velo, has primarily 12-6 movement and has some two-plane movement. Their change is slightly firmer than usual and has slight armside fade.
