In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball has less armside movement than typical, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their curve is thrown extremely hard, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their cutter has well above average velo, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their slider sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups and dives down out of the zone. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 19 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action.
