Their sinker is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, has heavy sinking action, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has below average velo. Their curve using a knuckle curve grip has an exceptional bite, comes in below hitting speed and has sweeping glove-side movement.
