In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slight armside run and has slightly above average velo. Their change dives down out of the zone, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has slightly below average velo. Their slider generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their curve results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has slight glove-side movement and has slightly below average velo. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 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 slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action.
