Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Jameson Taillon has thrown 15,407 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2016 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Cutter (87mph), also mixing in a Curve (80mph) and Slider (81mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (94mph) and Change (86mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo. Their cutter generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action. Their curve results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and is slightly harder than usual. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 19 of them in 2024) sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has below average velo and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has little sinking action compared to a true sinker and has slightly above average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2024) results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual and has slight armside fade.
