Their fourseam fastball has much less armside movement than typical, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and has some added backspin. Their splitter generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' splitters, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' splitters, has slight cut action and has some natural sink to it. Their cutter has extreme cut action, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has some natural sink. Their slider sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2025) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has little sinking action compared to a true sinker. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2025) has an exceptional bite, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves.
