In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph), also mixing in a Cutter (86mph), Change (85mph), Curve (78mph) and Slider (82mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (93mph).


In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has heavy sink, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly below average velo and has strong cutting action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups 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) results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has primarily 12-6 movement and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2026) 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 and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker.
