In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slight armside run. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their splitter is thrown extremely hard and has movement that suggests a lot of backspin. Their curve is thrown extremely hard, has primarily 12-6 movement, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, has little depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves.
