Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, has an obvious tail, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly above average velo. Their slider has primarily 12-6 movement and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has an obvious tail and has well above average velo. Their change has an obvious armside fade, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it.
