In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph) and Slider (86mph), also mixing in a Change (81mph), Curve (80mph) and Sinker (92mph).
In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2026) has much less armside movement than typical, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly above average velo. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 11 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and is much harder than usual. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 6 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups and has some natural sink to it. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their sinker (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' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has slightly above average velo.
