Their sinker has heavy sinking action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and is slightly firmer than usual.
