The slider tended to be used more against right-handed batters, and the changeup was used more against left-handed hitters.

Mortensen's slider had a somewhat unusual and unpredictable movement:"My slider isn’t a typical slider. It doesn’t necessarily break right-to-left. It has more depth to it, so it’s more of a down-ball. It also has three different movements, depending on where my release point is. When I really accentuate staying on top of it — away to a righty — it will have a little depth and a little right-to-left movement. If I try to throw it down the middle, it’s more straight down. Sometimes it kind of screws. It's basically because of the way I grip it. I kind of cock my wrist a little bit. To be honest, I try to throw it as hard as I can and it just kind of does what it wants to do."

Miles died at the age of 6 on September 11, 2018 after a long battle with stage IV Neuroblastoma.
