Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2026) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly below average velo, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2026) has an obvious armside fade, dives down out of the zone, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and is slightly firmer than usual. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2026) has an exceptional bite, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slightly below average velo. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sinking action.
