In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 19 of them in 2024) has an obvious armside fade, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sink to it. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2024) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has an obvious tail, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has some natural sinking action. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has an obvious tail, has below average velo and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has little depth and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2024) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has less than expected depth and has primarily 12-6 movement.
