Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut, has below average velo and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2026) results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2026) results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual and has slight armside fade.
