In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2026) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical and has some natural sinking action. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has short glove-side cut. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2026) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups.
