Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Jakob Junis has thrown 11,843 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). He also rarely throws a Fourseam Fastball (93mph), Cutter (89mph) and Change (86mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2024) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical and has essentially average velo. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has some natural sink. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight cut action and is slightly firmer than usual.
