In 2018, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their sinker has surprisingly little armside run, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, has less than expected depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change using a circle change grip generates more whiffs/swing 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 curve results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has primarily 12-6 movement.
