Jose Altuve – Four-Seam Fastball
Jose Altuve saw a lot of fastballs in 2021. Thirteen hundred and forty-six to be exact, or 54.1% of the pitches he saw. But it was the four seamer that Altuve compiled a .393 xwOBA, an xBA of .284 and xSLG of .519 that stood out.
The other thing that stands out is that Altuve compiled a total net run value of 25 on all pitches combined and 20 of those came on the four-seam fastball.
