John Lamb

Los Angeles Angels

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, John Lamb threw 2,337 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2013 and 2018, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2018, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (89mph) and Cutter (85mph), also mixing in a Change (75mph) and Curve (68mph). He also rarely threw a Sinker (89mph).


In 2018, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball has some natural sinking action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slightly below average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their cutter is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their change comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups and has surprising cut action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2018) comes in below hitting speed, has sweeping glove-side movement, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2018) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers.
