Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2024) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2024) results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, is slightly harder than usual and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 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 some natural sinking action and has slightly above average velo.
