A Look at Diamondbacks Pitchers’ Velocity Metrics
Tyler Gilbert
His Fastball is below average in terms of velocity and he throws it on average 89.5 miles per hour. The difference between his average Four Seam Fastball and Changeup in terms of velocity is 10.0. This is rather average for a MLB pitcher. His Four Seam Fastball has a below average velocity difference from his Curveball, which is not very good as hitters looking for a Fastball could find a way to still make good timed contact with his Curveball given the lack of velocity difference. It is only a 14.0 MPH difference. He does not feature a slider or he does not throw it enough to qualify.
Humberto Castellanos
His Fastball is below average in terms of velocity and he throws it on average 90.3 miles per hour. The lack of a meaningful change in velocities is a problem if Humberto Castellanos wants to continue using a Changeup in his arsenal. The difference between his Fastball and Changeup is 6.6. His Four Seam Fastball has an above average velocity difference from his Curveball, which is helpful in the art of pitching. His slider is among the slowest in velocity. It is just 76.4 miles per hour.
Tyler Clippard
His Fastball is below average in terms of velocity and he throws it on average 88.8 miles per hour. The difference between his average Four Seam Fastball and Changeup is 10.3, which is over 10 MPH and that is highly desired as the changeup is a more sudden change in velocity. His Four Seam Fastball has a below average velocity difference from his Curveball, which is not very good as hitters looking for a Fastball could find a way to still make good timed contact with his Curveball given the lack of velocity difference. It is only a 13.8 MPH difference. He does not feature a slider or he does not throw it enough to qualify.
Noe Ramirez
His Fastball is below average in terms of velocity and he throws it on average 89.4 miles per hour. The lack of a meaningful change in velocities is a problem if Noe Ramirez wants to continue using a Changeup in his arsenal. The difference between his Fastball and Changeup is 4.7. We are not able to compare his Four Seam Fastball to his Curveball because he does not feature both pitches in his repertoire. He throws a softer slider than the average pitcher, his slider velocity is only 77.4 miles per hour.
