What he throws and how well it works: Usage is how often he goes to it, Whiff% is how many swings against it miss, and xwOBA (contact) grades how dangerous the contact against it is — lower means weaker contact.

xwOBA here covers batted balls only — strikeouts and walks are not part of contact quality.
