In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their curve is thrown extremely hard, has primarily 12-6 movement and has little depth. Their fourseam fastball has less armside movement than typical and has essentially average velo. Their slider generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has less than expected depth. Their sinker generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their change is thrown extremely hard and is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
