Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

A.J. Puk has thrown 2,953 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph), Slider (82mph) and Sinker (94mph), also mixing in a Splitter (85mph). He also rarely throws a Cutter (91mph).


In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has well above average velo. Their slider sweeps across the zone and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker has well above average velo, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their splitter generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' splitters, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' splitters, has slight cut action, has some natural sink to it and is slightly firmer than usual. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2024) is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters.
