Allard Statcast Results
Those are his pitch-by-pitch results. I don't really know exactly what I'm looking at for each of these pitches, and I don't know how to find movement or compile average/aggregate data on them, but a couple things I think are true based on what I know:
- Not good FF velocity, as we know; between 88-90 basically, some a tick higher than 90
- Not good CU spin rate, which is a bad sign; RPM's in the 1400-1500 range are not good
- Good SL velocity, which is interesting, he throws that essentially as hard as he throws his fastball
- The spin rate on his FF and SL are better than his CU but still below average
- The velocity delta between his FF and CH is pretty good, about 10 mph
With low velocity on his fastball and below-average spin rates on all of his pitches, it looks like unless he just had a rough night or really improves, he's basically never going to be anything without the best command anybody's ever had. I would guess he has an average-ish slider, an average-ish changeup, a well below-average fastball, and a below-average curve.
