Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and has slight armside run. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their slider is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual, has less than expected depth and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their curve is a prototypical pitch with few remarkable qualities.
