Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Eric Lauer has thrown 12,578 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 (91mph) and Cutter (86mph), also mixing in a Curve (75mph) and Change (85mph). He also rarely throws a Slider (81mph).


In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their cutter has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their curve has a sharp downward bite and has slight glove-side movement. Their change is much firmer than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 18 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement.
