Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Derek Law has thrown 5,036 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2014 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Cutter (91mph), also mixing in a Slider (87mph), Fourseam Fastball (95mph), Sinker (94mph) and Change (88mph). He also rarely throws a Curve (78mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their cutter has well above average velo and has some natural sink. Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slightly above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has well above average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, is much firmer than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2024) has primarily 12-6 movement and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves.
