In 2022, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is straight as an arrow, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and is much harder than usual. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2022) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2022) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2022) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action.
