In 2019, they relied primarily on their Change using a Circle Change grip (79mph), Fourseam Fastball (84mph) and Sinker using a Two-seam Fastball grip (84mph), also mixing in a Curve using a Knuckle Curve grip (71mph).
In 2019, compared to other LHP:
Their change using a circle change grip has below average velo, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their fourseam fastball comes in below hitting speed and has some natural sinking action. Their sinker using a two-seam fastball grip is so slow that it is substantially gravitational and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their curve using a knuckle curve grip comes in below hitting speed, has sweeping glove-side movement and has a sharp downward bite.
