Here's that chart again.  
You understand that "+6 mph" means that Felix' cutter is thrown 6 mph harder than the typical MLB cut fastball, "+4 mph" means that his slider is thrown 4 mph harder than a typical MLB slider, etc.

The bizarre pitch is the changeup ... somehow Felix is throwing an 88-90 mph pitch that has forward rotation on it.  You'd think you have to push a pitch with your fingers a little bit to get it going 90 blinkin' mph.
The cutter is equally strange, but this seems to be a brand new pitch.  Maybe it will become his second illegal pitch.
