In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has much less armside movement than typical, has below average velo, has some natural sinking action and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their curve has sweeping glove-side movement, has below average velo, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite. Their cutter is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly below average velo, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, sweeps across the zone and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker has slightly below average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it.
