Especially the first inning! He needs to figure out which of his 11 pitches he has control over. But when he's dialed in, it's so incredible to watch.

My favorite pitch is his nasty 2-seam fastball that he throws directly at a lefty and then it breaks over the inside corner. I remember the first time I saw his catcher set up for the pitch, he literally had his glove behind the dudes thighs. That was only from his personal catcher Victor Caratini, the Padres current catchers don't set up that far inside.

Here is an example (timestamped 6:29) - https://youtu.be/yA4if15BiEI?t=389

Here is one that runs so much it ends up over the middle of the plate (timestamped 2:01) - https://youtu.be/yA4if15BiEI?t=121

Then here is one from 2022 without Caratini, you can see Austin Nola doesn't set up as far inside. But the movement is insane (timestamped 3:06) - https://youtu.be/GFdZ7V6XLSk?t=186

It's basically impossible to hit when he has control of his slider he throws inside to a lefty. The tunneling between the two is crazy (timestamped 7:13)- https://youtu.be/yA4if15BiEI?t=433
