Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Nestor Cortes has thrown 10,235 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 Fourseam Fastball (92mph) and Cutter (87mph), also mixing in a Slider (78mph) and Change (84mph).


In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball has much less armside movement than typical, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their cutter has sweeping cut action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sink. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, sweeps across the zone, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their change is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and dives down out of the zone.
