Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Nick Nelson has thrown 5,175 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (92mph) and Change (86mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and has some added backspin. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has an obvious armside fade, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and is slightly firmer than usual.
