In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slightly above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their splitter has some natural sink to it and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' splitters. Their slider generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their sinker has slightly above average velo. Their curve has an exceptional bite, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has slight glove-side movement and has slightly below average velo. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, has extreme cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sink.
