Pitching Style
Despite the four surgeries on his elbow, Kuo at his peak hit 93–95 mph with his four-seam fastball while occasionally reaching 98 mph with excellent late movement. He throws a sharp slider ranging in 86–88 mph,occasionally a curveball, and a changeup. For a power pitcher, Kuo is quick to the plate. His velocity and pitch execution makes him difficult to hit. Also, he does not surrender many home runs. Kuo's command has steadily improved, and he has maintained an excellent strikeout to walk ratio (4.05 in 2010).

Famous quotes containing the word style:
“The habit some writers indulge in of perpetual quotation is one it behoves lovers of good literature to protest against, for it is an insidious habit which in the end must cloud the stream of thought, or at least check spontaneity. If it be true that le style c’est l’homme, what is likely to happen if l’homme is for ever eking out his own personality with that of some other individual?”
—Dame Ethel Smyth (1858–1944)
