In 2015, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has below average velo, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slight armside run. Their slider results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has below average velo, has primarily 12-6 movement and has some two-plane movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2015) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2015) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2015) has very little depth, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement, is much harder than usual and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2015) comes in below hitting speed, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has heavy sink, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has little cutting action.
