Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Caleb Kilian has thrown 2,522 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 Sinker (96mph) and Fourseam Fastball (97mph), also mixing in a Curve (78mph), Slider (85mph) and Change (89mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is blazing fast and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has well above average velo, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2024) has an exceptional bite, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2024) sweeps across the zone and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it.
