Chicago White Sox

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2023, Dylan Cease threw 8,669 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2019 and 2022, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2022, they relied primarily on their Slider (87mph) and Fourseam Fastball (97mph), also mixing in a Curve (81mph). He also rarely threw a Splitter (78mph).


In 2022, compared to other RHP:
Their slider generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball is blazing fast, has much less armside movement than typical, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has some added backspin. Their curve has an exceptional bite, has primarily 12-6 movement, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves and is slightly harder than usual. Their splitter comes in below hitting speed, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' splitters and has movement that suggests an extreme amount of backspin.
