Will Smith

Kansas City Royals

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Will Smith has thrown 10,331 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2011 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (90mph) and Slider (81mph), also mixing in a Change (86mph) and Curve (75mph).


In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their change is much firmer than usual and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement.
