In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their slider sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone and is slightly firmer than usual. Their sinker is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, has much less armside movement than typical, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo.
