Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Josh Winckowski has thrown 3,171 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (95mph), Cutter (90mph) and Slider (86mph), also mixing in a Change (92mph). He also rarely throws a Fourseam Fastball (95mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker has well above average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their cutter has heavy sink, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has extreme cut action, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters and has slightly above average velo. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their change is thrown extremely hard, has an obvious armside fade, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has slightly above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical.
