José Quijada

Los Angeles Angels

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, José Quijada threw 2,215 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph), also mixing in a Change (88mph) and Curve (84mph).


In 2023, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action, has well above average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their change is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2023) is thrown extremely hard, has very little depth, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves.
