Their splitter has dives down out of the zone, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' splitters and has slight cut action. Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their cutter generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has heavy sink, has extreme cut action and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 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 and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2025) has an exceptional bite, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves.
