Their fourseam fastball is blazing fast, has less armside movement than typical, has some natural sinking action and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider sweeps across the zone. Their curve has an exceptional bite, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, has slight glove-side movement and has slightly below average velo. Their splitter generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' splitters, is much firmer than usual, has some natural sink to it, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' splitters and has slight armside fade. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is blazing fast, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has some natural sinking action. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is blazing fast and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters.
