Their slider sweeps across the zone, is much harder than usual, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their cutter is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters, has well above average velo and has some natural sink.
