In 2020, his four-seam averaged nearly 94 mph, at 2249 rpm while his curveball also increased to 80 mph average at 2153 rpm compared to 1950 rpm in 2019. The improvements were due to his longer arm swing, higher glove position off the raised front thigh at windup, and a faster arm speed at release, but also having well-recovered from Tommy John surgery.{{Cite web|title=Bargain pitchers in free agency – YouTube|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbrpvVRv3hE|access-date=November 6, 2020|website=www.youtube.com}}
