In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly above average velo. Their splitter has dives down out of the zone, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' splitters, is much firmer than usual and has slight armside fade. Their sinker is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2025) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has short glove-side cut. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2025) dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual and has slight armside fade.
