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, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo. His curve has a sharp downward bite and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves. His sinker has surprisingly little armside run, has little sinking action compared to a true sinker and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. His slider has exceptional depth.
