In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker 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 above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has short glove-side cut. Their change generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 16 of them in 2026) generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has essentially average velo. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 13 of them in 2026) has little cutting action, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sink.
