Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their slider sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change using a circle change grip is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, is much firmer than usual and has slight armside fade.
