In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their slider results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has well above average velo. Their change generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight cut action, has a lot of backspin and is slightly firmer than usual. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 19 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and is blazing fast.
