Their fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has much less armside movement than typical and has essentially average velo. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2026) has an exceptional bite, has primarily 12-6 movement, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and is slightly harder than usual. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2026) has heavy sink, has extreme cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has slightly below average velo. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2026) has dives down out of the zone, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' splitters and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters.
