Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2026) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement, has a sharp downward bite and is slightly harder than usual. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2026) generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has well above average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2026) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it.
