Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2026) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is straight as an arrow and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2026) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has primarily 12-6 movement.
