Braden Shipley has three main pitches – a four-seam fastball which sometimes flattens out if he pitches it at top velocity (Nick Piecoro wrote that it is more effective when he throttles it back), an outstanding change-up that is very deceptive because it dies at the plate, and a “league average” curve with a big break “often early out of the hand.”
Because of inconsistency, in spring training he tweaked his delivery by adding a pause at the top of his delivery. In 2017, he pitched 109 innings in the minors and 25 innings in the Majors.
