Their slider has exceptional depth, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker has heavy sinking action, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run. Their change dives down out of the zone, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups and results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their cutter is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has some natural sink.
