In 2026, compared to other RHP:
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, has slight armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their cutter is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has little cutting action and has some natural sink. Their curve has an exceptional bite, comes in below hitting speed, has sweeping glove-side movement, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly below average velo. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2026) comes in below hitting speed, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone and has exceptional depth. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2026) has dives down out of the zone, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters and has slight armside fade. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2026) has an obvious armside fade, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it.
