In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has much less armside movement than typical, has essentially average velo and has some added backspin. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2026) sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has less than expected depth. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2026) has an exceptional bite, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, has little sinking action compared to a true sinker and has slightly above average velo. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has well above average velo and has strong cutting action. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters, is much firmer than usual and has movement that suggests a lot of backspin.
