Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Kevin Kelly has thrown 3,426 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2022 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (91mph), Change (86mph) and Slider (79mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (92mph). He also rarely throws a Cutter (89mph).


In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run. Their change dives down out of the zone, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and is slightly firmer than usual. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders and sweeps across the zone. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2026) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has little cutting action and has some natural sink.
