In 2016, compared to other LHP:
Their change generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2016) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has below average velo. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2016) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, has below average velo and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2016) comes in below hitting speed, has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has less armside movement than typical. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2016) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has below average velo and has some two-plane movement.
