Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Alex Young threw 4,718 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Change (86mph), Sinker (91mph) and Slider (82mph). He also rarely threw a Fourseam Fastball (91mph).


In 2023, compared to other LHP:
Their change is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups and is much firmer than usual. Their sinker has some natural sinking action. Their slider sweeps across the zone and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers.
