Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Janson Junk has thrown 4,297 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 Fourseam Fastball (92mph), Curve (81mph) and Slider (82mph), also mixing in a Sinker (92mph). He also rarely throws a Cutter (90mph) and Splitter (84mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has much less armside movement than typical, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has some added backspin. Their curve has an exceptional bite, is slightly harder than usual and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their slider sweeps across the zone, has below average velo, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2024) explodes on the hitter, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has slightly above average velo. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters.
