Their cutter is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly above average velo, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their slider sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change is much firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it. Their curve has an exceptional bite, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and is slightly harder than usual. Their fourseam fastball (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' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo.
