In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has well above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2026) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sink. Their curve using a knuckle curve grip (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2026) has an exceptional bite, is much harder than usual and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 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 some natural sinking action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight cut action, is slightly firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it.
