In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has much less armside movement than typical, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action and has slightly above average velo. Their change is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slight cut action. Their sinker has less armside run than typical, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slightly above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their slider sweeps across the zone and has exceptional depth. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and is slightly harder than usual. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, has heavy sink, has extreme cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has well above average velo.
