In 2011, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has below average velo, has slightly less natural movement than typical and has some added backspin. Their change comes in below hitting speed. Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has below average velo, has less armside run than typical and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders and has short glove-side cut. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2011) 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 and has a sharp downward bite. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2011) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, has sweeping cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has below average velo. Their screwball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2011) is a rare pitch that shows elements of real downward movement induced by topspin.
