In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical and has slightly above average velo. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 18 of them in 2024) generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in 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 11 of them in 2024) has primarily 12-6 movement, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has well above average velo, has little cutting action and has some natural sink.
