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:
“The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel. It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
