In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their cutter is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has heavy sinking action, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has well above average velo. Their slider sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their curve has an exceptional bite, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement. Their fourseam fastball is straight as an arrow, is blazing fast, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. 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.
