In 2023, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2023) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has slightly below average velo. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2023) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has below average velo, has less armside movement than typical and has some added backspin. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2023) comes in below hitting speed, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has slight glove-side movement. Their change using a circle change grip (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and has below average velo.
