In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their slider comes in below hitting speed, sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their fourseam fastball is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their curve has an exceptional bite, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has sweeping glove-side movement and generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves. Their cutter is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters, has good "rise" and has slightly above average velo. Their change is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters.
