Built from his own fastball (94.3 mph) plus the typical shape 41 pitchers with his slot (34°) throw: a cutter around 90.2 mph, 10.6″ rise, −4.5″ arm-side. On the same model it grades +10 against his curveball, his weakest pitch that breaks the same way (+5 to +15 across the production and three cross-fit models), about 114 on his curveball’s scale; the comps’ own cutters grade 98 at the median, so that sits above 98% of them. The fits disagree, so it isn’t queued.
