In 2024, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is blazing fast, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run. Their curve has an exceptional bite, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual and has slight glove-side movement. Their change is thrown extremely hard, dives down out of the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight armside fade. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2024) has exceptional depth and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders.
