In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2024) has an obvious armside fade and is slightly firmer than usual. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2024) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and has some added backspin. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2024) has an exceptional bite, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2024) comes in below hitting speed, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 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 little sinking action compared to a true sinker and has slightly above average velo.
