In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their cutter is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair and has good "rise". Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone and has exceptional depth. Their change is thrown extremely hard and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their curve is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their sinker is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is blazing fast and has less armside run than typical.
