Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Daniel Norris threw 11,439 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2014 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (89mph), Change (83mph) and Slider (82mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (76mph) and Sinker (83mph).


In 2023, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly below average velo. Their change has surprising cut action, dives down out of the zone and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their slider generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has sweeping glove-side movement and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2023) is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has some natural sinking action.
