Their curve is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has sweeping glove-side movement, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite. Their fourseam fastball results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and has slight armside run. Their sinker has an obvious tail, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their change dives down out of the zone, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual and has slight armside fade. Their cutter is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sink.
