Their slider has exceptional depth and is much harder than usual. Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has well above average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers and is blazing fast. Their splitter is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, has slight cut action, has some natural sink to it, is slightly firmer than usual and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' splitters. Their change is slightly firmer than usual, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, is slightly harder than usual and has primarily 12-6 movement.
