In 2018, he has relied primarily on his Curve (83mph) and Fourseam Fastball (96mph), also mixing in a Change (88mph) and Sinker (96mph).

His curve has primarily 12-6 movement, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers’ curves, is much harder than usual, has little depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers’ curves. His fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers’ fourseamers, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers’ fourseamers and has well above average velo. His change is thrown extremely hard, has an obvious armside fade and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers’ changeups. His sinker has an obvious tail, is blazing fast, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers’ sinkers and has some natural sinking action.
