Their sinker has surprisingly little armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical and has slightly below average velo. Their curve is much harder than usual, has a sharp downward bite and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves.
