A Look at Marlins Pitchers’ Velocity Metrics


Steven Okert

His Fastball is below average in terms of velocity and he throws it on average 92.2 miles per hour. We are not able to compare his Four Seam Fastball to his Changeup because he does not feature both pitches in his repertoire. 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 80.3 miles per hour.

Anthony Bender

He throws an above-average Fastball in velocity and he throws it on average 96.8 miles per hour. The lack of a meaningful change in velocities is a problem if Anthony Bender wants to continue using a Changeup in his arsenal. The difference between his Fastball and Changeup is 6.8. We are not able to compare his Four Seam Fastball to his Curveball because he does not feature both pitches in his repertoire. He features a slider that generates above-average velocity on average, which is 84.5 miles per hour.

Elieser Hernandez

His Fastball is below average in terms of velocity and he throws it on average 90.6 miles per hour. The lack of a meaningful change in velocities is a problem if Elieser Hernandez wants to continue using a Changeup in his arsenal. The difference between his Fastball and Changeup is 5.2. 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 79.4 miles per hour.

Zach Thompson

His Fastball is below average in terms of velocity and he throws it on average 92.1 miles per hour. The lack of a meaningful change in velocities is a problem if Zach Thompson wants to continue using a Changeup in his arsenal. The difference between his Fastball and Changeup is 6.9. His Four Seam Fastball has an above average velocity difference from his Curveball, which is helpful in the art of pitching. He does not feature a slider or he does not throw it enough to qualify.

Dylan Floro

His Fastball is below average in terms of velocity and he throws it on average 93.6 miles per hour. The lack of a meaningful change in velocities is a problem if Dylan Floro wants to continue using a Changeup in his arsenal. The difference between his Fastball and Changeup is 7.2. We are not able to compare his Four Seam Fastball to his Curveball because he does not feature both pitches in his repertoire. He does not feature a slider or he does not throw it enough to qualify.

Pablo Lopez

His Fastball is below average in terms of velocity and he throws it on average 93.9 miles per hour. The lack of a meaningful change in velocities is a problem if Pablo Lopez wants to continue using a Changeup in his arsenal. The difference between his Fastball and Changeup is 5.9. 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 13.7 MPH difference. He does not feature a slider or he does not throw it enough to qualify.

Now onto the News, Rumors, and Commentary…

He has to be able to do all those things.” Overall, Neidert felt he had a good outing, and left the start encouraged about his next one. “I hope to carry those four really good innings into the next outing and continue to build,” Neidert said. But Neidert had a fourth inning he would like to forget, the right-hander saying after the game that he ran into trouble after failing to get ahead of the Reds’ hitters.”
