Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has below average velo, has some natural sinking action and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2023) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, has surprising cut action, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2023) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run and has slightly below average velo.
