In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run. Their change is thrown extremely hard, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their fourseam fastball is blazing fast, has some natural sinking action and has slight armside run. Their slider has primarily 12-6 movement, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders.
