In 2018, they relied primarily on their Sinker (92mph) and Slider (86mph), also mixing in a Change (90mph). He also rarely threw a Fourseam Fastball (94mph).


In 2018, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their slider sweeps across the zone and has exceptional depth. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2018) is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2018) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, has an obvious tail, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo.
