Their slider comes in below hitting speed, sweeps across the zone, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has well above average velo and has slight armside run. Their change is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, is much firmer than usual and results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
