In 2021, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 18 of them in 2021) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement, has little depth and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2021) dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slightly below average velo. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2021) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has primarily 12-6 movement and has less than expected depth.
