Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Nick Nelson has thrown 4,240 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (94mph), Slider (87mph) and Fourseam Fastball (94mph), also mixing in a Change (88mph). He also rarely throws a Curve (80mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2024) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical and has slightly above average velo. Their slider has exceptional depth and generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, is much firmer than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite.
