In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has much less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action and has slightly above average velo. Their change is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone and generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their curve generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and is slightly harder than usual. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has extreme cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has well above average velo and has some natural sink.
