In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (92mph) and Curve (79mph), also mixing in a Sinker (92mph), Cutter (87mph) and Change (86mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and has slight armside run. Their curve generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has slight glove-side movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2026) generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has little cutting action and has slightly below average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2026) dives down out of the zone, is slightly firmer than usual and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
