In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical and has slightly above average velo. Their curve has an exceptional bite, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement. 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 is much firmer than usual. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical and has slightly above average velo. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2026) has heavy sink, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, has sweeping cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has slightly above average velo.
