I got some of my Pitch F/X stuff back and working and I decided to take a look at the prospect pitchers who spent time with the Reds last year. Roenicke was the first guy on tap. Here is what he threw in his 5 games.

As you can see by the chart, Roenicke threw 6 offspeed pitches last season in the majors. Of course, he also only threw 62 total pitches according to the Pitch F/X data. Still, that means he was working with 91% fastballs. Thats an incredibly high rate of fastballs, even for a guy who threw his fastball 95 MPH or faster 31 times out of 56 fastballs.
The fastball got good results, but it just shows how good he may be if he can mix in a decent offspeed pitch every now and again. If not, well lets hope he can continue to throw his fastball over 95 MPH more than 50% of the time he throws the ball.
