In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, has some natural sinking action and has slight armside run. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, has primarily 12-6 movement, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their splitter is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' splitters, is much firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it.
