Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Luis Contreras has thrown 2,551 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (92mph), also mixing in a Cutter (85mph), Change (84mph) and Slider (79mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (92mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is straight as an arrow, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo. Their cutter generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has heavy sink, has extreme cut action, has below average velo and results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters. Their change generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker.
