Their sinker is so slow that it is substantially gravitational, has heavy sinking action, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run. Their fourseam fastball comes in below hitting speed, has heavy sinking action, has an obvious tail and generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, generates fewer whiffs/swing 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.
