Their sinker generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has surprisingly little armside run. Their curve has a sharp downward bite, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their splitter is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' splitters, is much firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it.
