Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Michael Grove has thrown 3,643 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Slider (87mph) and Sinker (96mph), also mixing in a Cutter (93mph) and Slow Curve (80mph). He also rarely throws a Fourseam Fastball (95mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their slider is much harder than usual and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is blazing fast, has surprisingly little armside run and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker. Their cutter is blazing fast, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters, has good "rise", results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action. Their slow curve is a real yakker that's separated from their other curveball due to its big drop and slow speed. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 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 slightly above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical.
