Lots of people are sleeping on Quinn Priester... I have a feeling this dude is going to make an impact with the major league club next year. Letโ€™s talk about it. Adding velo to the sinker (SI) has been a constant emphasis since coming over via trade, and we already saw a minor increase last year. Avg SI velo (2024) ๐Ÿ“ˆ โ€ข w/ PIT: 93.0 mph โ€ข w/ BOS: 93.8 mph NOTE: Remove his first two appearances where there wasnโ€™t really any changes made, and his avg SI velo now sits at 94.2 mph. Games where SI sat 94+ mph ๐Ÿ“ˆ โ€ข w/ PIT: 2 (of 23) โ€ข w/ BOS: 5 (of 10) Heโ€™s comfortably hit 96 and topped 97 mph for Worcester (seen in video attached), and has been grinding on a velo program this winter as well. Other top velos, just for funโ€ฆ โ€ข FF: 96.3 mph* โ€ข SL: 92.3 mph โ€ข CU: 83.5 mph* โ€ข CH: 92 mph* โ€ข FC: 94.4 mph* *indicates top velo was w/ BOS โ€” On top of this, we all know that Bres/Bailey & Co. love their whiff and secondary offerings. Priester took a huge step forward last year in both of these categories. Overall whiff ๐Ÿ“ˆ โ€ข w/ PIT: 29.8% โ€ข w: BOS: 35.4% Arsenal whiff w/ BOS ๐Ÿ“ˆ โ€ข SI: 22% โ€ข FF: 30% โ€ข FC: 42% โ€ข SL: 48% (โ€ผ๏ธ) โ€ข CU: 43%** **hot take: SI/SL combo are his carrying pitches, but his best pitch is his CH โ€” Clearly, thereโ€™s something there. I wouldnโ€™t be surprised if we see a major usage change. Hereโ€™s what I would propose: โ€ข FA (FF/SI/FC): 46.3% โžก๏ธ 30% - SI: 20% (โ€œget me overโ€ or โ€œneed itโ€ kind of pitch; needs to be for a strike, low in zone; CH plays off it) - FC: 9% (would love to use it more, but had a limited sample size in 2024; start off as a LHH-exclusive like Garett Whitlock showcased; needs to either be elevated (tunnel w/ FF) or down+out (tunnel w/ SL) - FF: 1% (similar to what we saw Bello implementโ€ฆ only deploy in key situations; must be elevated) โ€ข SL: 31.8% โžก๏ธ 35% - emphasis on gloveside target against both LHH/RHH; vs LHH, catcher sets up more middle/out - maybe try some armside vs LHH to dupe batters? โ€ข CH: 14% โžก๏ธ 25% - best pitch results in MLB (.167 BAA, .167 SLG, 29% whiff in limited sample size) but canโ€™t be overused - need to tunnel w/ SIโ€ฆ make sure low in/out of zone; see: Whitlock โ€ข CU: 8% โžก๏ธ 10% - LHH exclusive offering, tunnels w/ elevated FC/FF - needs to miss low Overall: SI โ€œfirstโ€ for strikes with a very heavy dosage of SL/CH mixed in vs both LHH/RHH. FC/CB to LHH only. Elevated FF only in certain sequences. Iโ€™ve attached some specific videos to further emphasize my points. โ€ข Clip #1: Bogaerts whiff on CH โ€ข Clip #2: disgusting SLs to RHHs โ€ข Clip #3: Priester sinkers (T97 mph) โ€ข Clip #4: just pure nastiness Oh, and a friendly reminder: heโ€™s just 24 years old. There is so much potential to tap into here. The stuff, for one, is there and only getting better. My favorite Red Sox pitcher right now is by far Garrett Whitlock. I see a little bit of baby Whitty in Priesterโ€™s delivery, frame, and stuff. ๐Ÿ‘€ โ€” Alrighty, that was a lot lol. I hope everyone enjoyed. If you have questions, comments, or even player requests, feel free to reach out! I am super excited to see what Priester can do in 2025 and beyond. What do you think? โฌ‡๏ธ
