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.
