MLB and MiLB Pitching Arsenals

[Myztery]

I've always been skeptical as far as ratings for pitchers go on roster updates when it comes to what pitches they throw, because sources for such information are limited, especially sources that don't require a fee. I know that these roster makers put in a great deal of work trying to find pitch lists for Major Leaguers and obscure minor leaguers, but it seems like there must be some players that are missed. I figured that perhaps it would be a good idea to compile a list here and keep it in this thread. If you want to submit pitch lists for players on your favorite team or any other team, you can post here or send me a PM and I will update this thread with the information. This way, if anybody needs to know this information, he can come here and it will all be in one place. Start sending in players/pitch lists, and I will update the thread as soon as I get them.

Phil Hughes is now primarily a three pitch pony. He throws a fastball the sits around 94 mph, a sharp curve in the low 80 mph range and changeup at 78 mph. He had a slider with pretty good break, but he doesn't use it much in games anymore. Overall he has almost flawless control on both his fastball and his curveball. The changeup is a work in progress, and many scouts feel that it will be the differance for Hughes. If that changeup becomes as nasty as his curve or fastball, he could be a name to remember. If not, he could still be solid but not a dominant ace type pitcher. The most comparable pitcher in the majors at the moment is Mark Prior. Prior also features an excellent fastball as well as an excellent curve, but his changeup is just adequate.

Humberto Sanchez throws a fastball that can go all the way up to about 98 but usually is closer to 95. He throws a good curveball and an average changeup. He also has a slider, but its not going to be of much help to him at the major leauge level. Bartolo Colon is the most comparable pitcher to Sanchez at the moment. Sanchez' mindset and antics are similar to those of Colon. He is prone to the longball because he's not afraid to throw his fastball up in the zone. He has pretty good control, but often times doesn't show it because he relies too much on his raw stuff. He doesn't walk too many batters but he is prone to leaving pitches up in the zone.

Chien-Ming Wang throws a fastball that sits around 95-96 mph, a sinker around 94-95 mph, a 2-seamer around 93-94 mph with a ton of late break, a changeup around 83-84 mph, and a slurve-like breaking ball in the low 80 mph range which he rarely throws more than a few times in a game. He has very good control and doesn't walk many batters. He is a groundball pitcher, and doesn't strike out as many as some may like, however, he rarely gives up home runs. As with most groundball pitchers though, he is prone to giving up base-hits.

Phil Hughes is now primarily a three pitch pony he throws a fast ball the sits around 94 and sharp curve in the low 80s and changeup at 78 he has a slider with prety good break but doesn't use it in games much anymore overall he has almost flawless control on his fastball and curve ball the changeup is a work in prgrees and what many scouts feel will be the differance for philip huges. If that changeup becomes as nast as his curve and fastball he could be a name to remember if he never really grasps that changeup he will still be solid but a dominant ace type pitcher. THe best comparison for him is mark prior, exxlent fastball, exxelent curveball, adequate changeup

HUmberto Sanchez throws a fastball that can go all the way up to about 98 but usually is closer to 95. He throws a good curveball a and a ok changeup he has a slider but its not gonna help him much on the major leauge level. The best comparison for him is bartolo colon he pitches very similary to colon as far as where he locates and what hes willing to do. He is prone to the longball because hes not afraid to throw his fastball high in the zone he has pretty good control but often times doesnt show it because he relies to much on his stuff. He doesnt walk very many people but he does sometimes put pithes over the middle too much

95% of the time, I've found it remarkably easy to find pitch types for major league and minor league players. You just need to smart about what you're looking for.
