Basic description of 2018 pitches compared to other LHP:
His fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has less armside movement than typical, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has slightly below average velo and has some added backspin. His curve has an exceptional bite, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves and results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves. His sinker (take this with a grain of salt because he's only thrown 15 of them in 2018) generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has less armside run than typical, has little sinking action compared to a true sinker and has slightly below average velo. His cutter (take this with a grain of salt because he's only thrown 15 of them in 2018) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has good "rise". His change (take this with a grain of salt because he's only thrown 9 of them in 2018) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups and has a lot of backspin.
