In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is blazing fast, has some natural sinking action and has slight armside run. Their slider has exceptional depth, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their change is thrown extremely hard, has an obvious armside fade, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it.
