Pitching Technique
Wilson's pitching repertoire includes a four-seam fastball (90–93 mph), a two-seam fastball (90–93), a cutter (88–91), slider (83–85), curveball (77–80), and changeup (84–87), thrown from a 3/4 arm angle. He hardly ever throws his changeup against left-handed hitters, while his slider is much more commonly used against lefties.
Wilson says he attempts to keep his opponents' batting average on balls in play down by "using pitch mix a certain way" and by taking into account his defense's alignment when he pitches.

Famous quotes containing the word technique:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
