In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their change generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone and is slightly firmer than usual. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slightly above average velo. Their cutter generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has heavy sink, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has slightly above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical.
