THE PITCH REPERTOIRE

The art of the arsenal.

Different shapes. One approach.

Usage and average velocity cover the same 1,125-pitch sample.
PITCH	USAGE	VELO	PITCHES
Four-seam	44.0%	94.2 mph	495
Slider	29.0%	84.6 mph	326
Curveball	17.0%	78.3 mph	191
Changeup	10.0%	87.7 mph	113

HOW THE PITCHES SEPARATE

Velocity tells you how fast. Movement helps explain why the same swing doesn’t work against every pitch.

THE MATCHUP CHANGES THE STORY
