Velazquez throws two different types of fastballs, a sinker and a four-seamer. He throws his sinker slightly more often, 27% of the time compared to 23.8% of the time. He was far less effective at inducing ground balls with it, or with any of his pitches last season, only managing a 38.6% ground-ball rate compared to his 49.8% ground-ball rate in 2018.
