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 and has well above average velo. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has little depth and has primarily 12-6 movement.
