In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual and has less than expected depth. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is straight as an arrow, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has below average velo. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2025) has an exceptional bite, comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2025) generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' splitters, has below average velo, has movement that suggests a lot of backspin and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' splitters. Their sinker (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' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, has little sinking action compared to a true sinker and has slightly below average velo.
