It’s actually his slider, which is a plus pitch and the pitch he’s most comfortable throwing. He has just recently added the curveball to his arsenal.
Take it up with PerfectGame scouts

EASY UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S AND CAN REALLY PITCH. HUGE OUTING AT THE PG NATIONAL WITH A FASTBALL THAT TOUCHED 94 AND A CURVEBALL THAT CAN RIVAL ANY BREAKING PITCH IN THE CLASS.
quote:
Strong and compact athletic build, especially strong in the lower half. Simple side step/turn and throw delivery, very compact arm action going to a high 3/4's arm slot, has a fast arm, steady slow paced mechanics, hides the ball very well and creates deception. Fastball topped out at 94 mph, gets nice running life at times and velocity plays up. Tight power curveball with downer bite, has a very consistent feel for his curveball and tunnels it well. Cut a fastball or change up at 86 mph that can be further developed. Created lots of uncomfortable swings mixing pitches and attacking the lower part of the zone. Very good student, verbal commitment to Louisiana State. Named to play in the Perfect Game All-American Classic.

“I’ve always had a natural ability to throw my slider,” said Lansville, the No. 173-ranked draft prospect. “When it really became a big tool for me was my sophomore year, where I changed the grip of it a little bit and was working with my pitching coach Dom Johnson on it. Some of the cues that he gave me throwing that pitch really helped me and that advanced my game a lot. And then junior year and senior year with the little adjustments I’ve made have made that a plus pitch.”
Settling in with the slider and getting to where it is now also gave Lansville the added confidence to bring a fourth pitch into his mix, now throwing a curveball in the high 70s to complement his fastball-slider-changeup combination. As his toolbox expanded, however, he made sure to not lose sight of what has become his bread and butter.

Lansville admitted most believe his favorite off-speed pitch is a curveball. But that isn’t the case. Instead, he loves throwing his slider, as his curveball is not a pitch he has used a lot. This spring, Lansville hopes to show a better feel for his curveball after dedicating time to refining it during the offseason.
