In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has heavy sinking action, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has less armside run than typical. Their cutter generates a very high amount of groundballs 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, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their curve has an exceptional bite, is slightly harder than usual and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2025) dives down out of the zone, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and is slightly firmer than usual.
