Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly above average velo. Their cutter has extreme cut action and has well above average velo. Their curve has a sharp downward bite. Their change is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight cut action and is slightly firmer than usual. Their slider sweeps across the zone, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement.
