Their splitter has dives down out of the zone, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' splitters and results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' splitters. Their slider sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has below average velo. Their fourseam fastball results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has slightly below average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their sinker is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2025) has an exceptional bite, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has below average velo and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves.
