In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has well above average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their slider is thrown extremely hard and has exceptional depth. Their curve generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has slight glove-side movement. Their sinker is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo and has some natural sinking action. Their change is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their cutter is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' cutters, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters and has some natural sink.
