Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Alex Wells threw 857 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2022, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2022, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (88mph), Curve (73mph) and Change (83mph), also mixing in a Slider (82mph).


In 2022, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has below average velo, has less armside movement than typical and has some added backspin. Their curve has below average velo, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement. Their change is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2022) results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement.
