In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (92mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (92mph), Slider (85mph) and Curve (78mph).


In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has slightly above average velo. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is straight as an arrow, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves and has little depth.
