Their knuckleball flutters and floats unpredictably toward the plate. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has below average velo and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly below average velo. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly below average velo, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action.
