Their fourseam fastball has less armside movement than typical, has well above average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker is blazing fast, has surprisingly little armside run and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their cutter is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair and has strong cutting action. Their curve has an exceptional bite and has slight glove-side movement. Their change is thrown extremely hard and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
