In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their slider comes in below hitting speed, sweeps across the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their cutter generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has slightly above average velo. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run. Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2026) is much firmer than usual, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is slightly harder than usual, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement.
