| Slider | |||||
| Slider | 55 | 60 | 89 | 86-90 | Best, most used secondary, uses almost as much as FB. Confident throwing it for a strike. Have seen 86-87 and 88-90; cutterish and regularly plus in upper velo band for swing and miss in and out of zone. Two plane break, plus depth at best. Half-grade of consistency in upper band still there. |
