In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is blazing fast and has some natural sinking action. Their curve is thrown extremely hard, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair and generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their change is thrown extremely hard, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it.
