It's right on the border of slider and cutter I would say. There are some pitches with similar shape that are classified as cutters.
Between 2023 and 2024, there's a small shape change (more drop), but I think it's a byproduct of the velocity on the pitch being down 2 mph from 2023 to 2024, which is odd given that I would expect something that moves to the inner third to be more successful if it's harder.
