Their cutter generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has heavy sink, has extreme cut action, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has well above average velo. Their curve has sweeping glove-side movement, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite. Their slider sweeps across the zone, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their change dives down out of the zone and is slightly firmer than usual. Their sinker is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo and has less armside run than typical.
