Their slider sweeps across the zone and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker is blazing fast and has some natural sinking action. Their splitter generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' splitters, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' splitters, has slight cut action, has some natural sink to it and is slightly firmer than usual.
