trackman pitcher of the week: 2024 lhp jeremy pilon

PBR Ontario’s trip to Montreal for the ABC Pro day did not disappoint. Amongst all the talent emerged Jeremy Pilon, a 2024 LHP.  The Canadian JNT member impressed us with his 3-pitch mix.

It all starts with his fastball. His ability to spin the heater allows him to produce a 26.7 spin score, which sits in the top 20% amongst 2024s. The more impressive aspect, however, is his average fastball velocity of 89.0 mph which is top 3%. With that velocity, and his low release point of 5.6 ft, Pilon can produce a flat VAA. This means that a fastball up in the zone will be difficult for hitters to get on top of and produce a lot of swing and miss.

When looking at a breaking ball, it is important to identify how it plays off the fastball. With Pilon, the release point of both his fastball and breaking ball are identical (as seen in the picture below, FB – black/CB – orange). This makes it more difficult for hitters to pick up on the pitch as it comes at them from the same arm slot.

To go along with the optimal arm slot, he can really spin it as well. He has an average spin rate of 2549 rpm which is one of the best in the country for 2024s. This helps produce a movement pattern of 4.2 HB/-13.1 IVB which differs ideally from that of his fastball.

Lastly, his changeup. There are several things to like about Pilon’s changeup. Its average velocity is 77.9 mph which is significantly slower than his fastball, his spin rate averaging 2047 rpm also has a big drop from his fastball, and his arm slot and release point are also identical to his fastball. While these are all important aspects to having an impactful changeup, one feature that could need some adjusting is its movement pattern. As seen in the picture below, the changeups movement pattern does not differ much from his fastball (CH – green):

Creating more HB or IVB will create deception if maintaining the same arm slot and release point. One way to change this is by playing with grips. Adjusting your arm slot will also do the trick, however, you may lose some of that deception as the batter might be able to identify the difference.

Pilon has a bright future ahead and as one of the top arms in the 2024 class, we at PBR are excited to see how he develops in the next two years before heading off to school.
