In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has heavy sinking action, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo and has slight armside run. Their slider results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual, has primarily 12-6 movement and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2026) has heavy sinking action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slight armside run and has slightly above average velo. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, is much firmer than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight cut action.
