Their curve is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2025) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has well above average velo. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has well above average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, is much firmer than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade.
