In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Cutter (93mph), also mixing in a Sinker (94mph), Curve (75mph), Slider (81mph), Fourseam Fastball (95mph) and Change (84mph).
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, has surprisingly little armside run, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has well above average velo. Their curve has an exceptional bite, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement. Their slider sweeps across the zone and has exceptional depth. Their fourseam fastball is straight as an arrow, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is blazing fast, 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.
