What stands out

  • Serious top-end thump: 90th-percentile exit velocity 108.4 mph, among the hardest in this group.
  • Consistently hard on average -- 87.2 mph mean exit velocity over 784 batted balls.
  • He worked through 2,833 pitches, 29.1% of them four-seam fastballs.
Reading note

Descriptive only, from a single 2025 Statcast pull (>=300 pitches-faced floor). Contact numbers are over the 784 batted balls only, not the full 2,833 pitches, and estimated wOBA on contact is a batted-ball model -- it says nothing about walks, strikeouts, or actual results. No swing/miss or launch-angle column in this pull, so no whiff rate or barrel profile. Batter-side only (his pitching is not in this card). Not park- or opponent-adjusted; not a prediction.
