Justin Bruihl

Los Angeles Dodgers

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2023, Justin Bruihl threw 1,154 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2022, all of them occuring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2022, they relied primarily on their Cutter (87mph) and Slider (78mph), also mixing in a Sinker (89mph). He also rarely threw a Fourseam Fastball (90mph).


In 2022, compared to other LHP:
Their cutter has extreme cut action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has some natural sink. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker has heavy sinking action, has less armside run than typical and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2022) has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is straight as an arrow and has essentially average velo.
