Their slider sweeps across the zone and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball is straight as an arrow, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their sinker generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their change is thrown extremely hard, has surprising cut action, dives down out of the zone and generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups.
