In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, has an obvious tail, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their change is thrown extremely hard, has an obvious armside fade, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their fourseam fastball is blazing fast, has some natural sinking action and has slight armside run. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, has primarily 12-6 movement, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2023) is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has little depth.
