Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Scott Barlow has thrown 5,947 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2018 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Slider (81mph), Curve (78mph) and Fourseam Fastball (91mph), also mixing in a Sinker (91mph).


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, sweeps across the zone, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders and has below average velo. Their curve has sweeping glove-side movement, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical and has slightly below average velo. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has heavy sinking action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has surprisingly little armside run.
