In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their change has an obvious armside fade and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their sinker is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has little sinking action compared to a true sinker and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their curve is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite. Their slider comes in below hitting speed and sweeps across the zone. Their splitter comes in below hitting speed, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' splitters, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' splitters, has slight cut action and has some natural sink to it. 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 an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has below average velo, has little cutting action and has some natural sink.
