In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Cutter (88mph) and Sinker (92mph), also mixing in a Curve (77mph), Slider (80mph) and Fourseam Fastball (92mph). He also rarely throws a Change (85mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their cutter generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their sinker results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 18 of them in 2024) has an exceptional bite, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement. Their slider comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slightly below average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it.
