Pitching Style
Affeldt has three different kinds of pitches: a fastball, a curveball, and a sinker. His fastball travels in the nineties, and while his curveball is not as fast, it is also an effective pitch. Affeldt strikes out batters pretty consistently, but he can get in trouble when he starts walking batters. He is not always consistent, and that, coupled with his injury problems early on, led to his failure as a starter.

“It is not in our drawing-rooms that we should look to judge of the intrinsic worth of any style of dress. The street-car is a truer crucible of its inherent value.”
