In 2022, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2022) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, is straight as an arrow, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly above average velo. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2022) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual and has less than expected depth. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2022) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, is much firmer than usual and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2022) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has primarily 12-6 movement.
