Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has heavy sinking action, has an obvious tail and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has below average velo and has some two-plane movement. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has little cutting action and has slightly above average velo. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and has slight armside run. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has an obvious armside fade, is much firmer than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it.
