Nick Vespi has thrown 1,588 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (89mph) and Slider (83mph), also mixing in a Curve (79mph) and Sinker (89mph).
In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is straight as an arrow, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly below average velo. Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their curve generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, is slightly harder than usual and has slight glove-side movement. Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has some natural sinking action.
