Built from his own fastball (96.2 mph) plus the typical shape 44 pitchers with his slot (38°) throw: a slider around 87.6 mph, −6.1″ rise, +5.0″ arm-side. On the same model it grades +30 against his four-seam, his weakest pitch that breaks the same way (+22 to +43 across the production and three cross-fit models), about 104 on his four-seam’s scale; the comps’ own sliders grade 104 at the median, so that sits above 50% of them. A season-long project that may not take: about 1.6 runs a season if it does.
