Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 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 below average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has less than expected depth and has primarily 12-6 movement.
