Their curve generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite. Their fourseam fastball has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slightly above average velo. Their cutter generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has heavy sink and has little cutting action. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2016) is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2016) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, is much firmer than usual and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
