In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2026) has heavy sinking action, has an obvious tail, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has well above average velo. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2026) sweeps across the zone, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2026) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has an obvious tail, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has well above average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2026) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has an obvious armside fade, dives down out of the zone and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
