Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Jakob Junis has thrown 12,811 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Slider (83mph) and Sinker (92mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (92mph) and Change (87mph). He also rarely throws a Cutter (89mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their slider sweeps across the zone, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their fourseam fastball has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their change dives down out of the zone, is slightly firmer than usual and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters.
