Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Michael King has thrown 8,350 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (93mph), Fourseam Fastball (94mph), Slider (83mph) and Change (87mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, has an obvious tail, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider sweeps across the zone and has some two-plane movement. Their change has an obvious armside fade, is much firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it.
