Basic description of 2019 pitches compared to other LHP:
His cutter results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly above average velo, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. His change generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups. His fourseam fastball has much less armside movement than typical and has essentially average velo. His curve generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite. His sinker has surprisingly little armside run and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker. His slider has exceptional depth and generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders.
