In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 18 of them in 2026) is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair and generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is blazing fast, has less armside movement than typical and has some natural sinking action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2026) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade.
