Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2018) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has good "rise" and has little cutting action. Their curve using a knuckle curve grip results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2018) has an obvious tail, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has below average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2018) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2018) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has slightly below average velo.
