Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and has slight armside run. Their slider is a prototypical pitch with few remarkable qualities. Their change dives down out of the zone, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. Their curve has below average velo, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has slight glove-side movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has an obvious tail, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has some natural sink.
