Josh Beckett - Pitching Style

Pitching Style

Beckett throws five pitches regularly: a four-seam fastball (91–94 mph), a two-seam fastball (91–94), a cutter (89–91), a curveball (73–79), and a changeup (86–88). Beckett uses all five of his pitches against left-handed hitters but drops the changeup against righties. He tends to use his curveball when ahead in the count, bolstered by its 34% whiff rate. Beckett also began to experiment with a slider and splitter in 2012.
