In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their cutter is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has some natural sink. Their change using a vulcan change grip generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their curve has an exceptional bite, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement and has slightly below average velo. Their fourseam fastball is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has below average velo, has less armside movement than typical and has some natural sinking action. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has below average velo.
