In 2023, compared to other RHP:
His fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has below average velo, has less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. His slider (take this with a grain of salt because he's only thrown 15 of them in 2023) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has below average velo. His sinker (take this with a grain of salt because he's only thrown 7 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run. His change (take this with a grain of salt because he's only thrown 7 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, is much firmer than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. His curve (take this with a grain of salt because he's only thrown 7 of them in 2023) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has below average velo and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves.
