Farabee says he models his playing style after Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jake Guentzel. The comparisons were focused on their skating ability, playmaking, and hockey IQ. He has also drawn comparisons to Brad Marchand and Zach Parise due to his "high motor and a good deal of intensity." During the Flyers' training camp in 2019, teammate Jakub Voráček called him a "smart player" who was hard to catch up with.
