In January 2022, it was reported that he was selling advertising time for Seattle radio station ESPN 710 and was said by one 710 staffer to be "a great dude" Pitching style Furbush throws a steady mix of five pitches. He leads with a four-seam fastball in the 88–93 mph range, and he has a sinker with similar speed that he throws mostly to right-handed hitters. His main off-speed pitch to lefties is a curveball at 76–79 mph, although he also likes to mix in a slider at 80–85 mph. Against righties, Furbush usually drops the slider in favor of an 80–84 mph changeup. Against hitters from both sides of the plate, Furbush relies heavily on his curveball in 2-strike counts.
