Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Josh Fleming has thrown 5,407 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (91mph), Change (83mph) and Cutter (87mph), also mixing in a Slider (78mph). He also rarely throws a Fourseam Fastball (89mph).


In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their change is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone and generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their cutter results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sink. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, sweeps across the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2024) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly below average velo.
