In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair and has slight armside run. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2026) is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters, has some natural sink to it and has slight armside fade. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2026) is thrown extremely hard, 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 8 of them in 2026) is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers.
