Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2026) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has slightly above average velo. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2026) 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. Their change (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' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual and has slight armside fade. Their slider (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' sliders, sweeps across the zone and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders.
