Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their sinker (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' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has little sinking action compared to a true sinker and has slightly above average velo. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2026) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has short glove-side cut. Their curve (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' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has little depth and is slightly harder than usual.
