Lucas Giolito has thrown 17,369 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 Slider (87mph), Change (82mph) and Fourseam Fastball (94mph). He also rarely throws a Curve (78mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2024) generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2024) results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2024) has an exceptional bite, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has primarily 12-6 movement.
