His fastball has some pretty good sink on it, as Sam Page at Amazin Avenue pointed out in a post a while back. His Curveball also has some insane movement, but he only threw 5 so not much can be read into that, and his changeup has some sink too. He had 14.3% Swinging Strikes.

Met Prospects Pitch F/X

So, if you haven't heard, there are several Mets playing in the Arizona Fall League, on the Surprise Rafters. The Arizona Fall League also has Pitch F/X data, which is what you see on gameday.
It is explained here and here.
The last game that we have Pitch F/x data from (from Brooks Baseball) is October 22, where Josh Stinson went 1 inning, giving up 1 hit, and striking out 1. Stinson is a 21 year old right hander who had a 1.98 ERA in Port St Lucie.
His Pitch F/x data:

Information gotten from Brooks Baseball, which is an awesome site.
Negative values on horizontal break means the pitch is in to righties, and positive values mean it's in to lefties. 1.99 mean's it's fairly down the middle of the plate.
Stinson threw 13 fastballs, 3 curves, 2 changeups and 1 slider and 2 seam fastball.
So, his fastball breaks inside to righties, his curveball breaks inside and down to lefties, and low and away from righties, which seems to make it a good out pitch.
