Their cutter generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters, has well above average velo, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has well above average velo, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical and has slightly above average velo. Their slider sweeps across the zone, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their change is thrown extremely hard, dives down out of the zone and generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their curve is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite, is slightly harder than usual and has slight glove-side movement.
