In 2013, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2013) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slight armside run. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2013) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual and has slight armside fade. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2013) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2013) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has little depth, is slightly harder than usual and has primarily 12-6 movement.
