In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2026) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2026) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has surprisingly little armside run. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2026) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo. Their cutter (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' cutters, is blazing fast, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has surprisingly little cutting action.
