In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their curve has an exceptional bite, has below average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly above average velo. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has well above average velo. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2025) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' splitters, is much firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has well above average velo.
