In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Slider (86mph) and Fourseam Fastball (97mph), also mixing in a Change (82mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their slider has exceptional depth, 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 fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has well above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slightly below average velo.
