Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Lucas Sims has thrown 5,326 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 (84mph) and Fourseam Fastball (95mph), also mixing in a Cutter (91mph) and Curve (80mph). He also rarely throws a Change (90mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their slider sweeps across the zone and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slightly above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their cutter generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has well above average velo. Their curve has sweeping glove-side movement, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it.
