Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Nick Mears has thrown 1,615 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2023, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (96mph), also mixing in a Curve (80mph) and Slider (85mph). He also rarely throws a Change (88mph).


In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has much less armside movement than typical, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has well above average velo and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their curve has primarily 12-6 movement, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite, is slightly harder than usual and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2023) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight cut action and has an extreme amount of backspin.
