Their fourseam fastball is straight as an arrow, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their curve has primarily 12-6 movement, has a sharp downward bite and is slightly harder than usual. Their sinker is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers.
