Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2024) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, has sweeping glove-side movement, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it.
