In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their slider sweeps across the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has below average velo and has some two-plane movement. Their cutter results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has well above average velo and has strong cutting action. Their sinker generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo, has slight armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has well above average velo and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their change is thrown extremely hard, dives down out of the zone, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2024) 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.
