Joe Barlow

Chicago White Sox

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Joe Barlow threw 2,015 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Slider (86mph) and Fourseam Fastball (93mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (78mph) and Splitter (86mph).


In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their slider has less than expected depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their fourseam fastball results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their curve has primarily 12-6 movement and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, has movement that suggests an extreme amount of backspin, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' splitters and is slightly firmer than usual.
