Louie Varland

Minnesota Twins

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2023, Louie Varland threw 1,203 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 Fourseam Fastball (94mph) and Slider (86mph), also mixing in a Change (84mph). He also rarely threw a Curve (82mph).


In 2022, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their slider is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it.
