In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has well above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2024) has heavy sink, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has strong cutting action. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is blazing fast and has some natural sinking action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, has sweeping glove-side movement, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and is slightly harder than usual.
