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.

Famous quotes containing the word style:
“A cultivated style would be like a mask. Everybody knows it’s a mask, and sooner or later you must show yourself—or at least, you show yourself as someone who could not afford to show himself, and so created something to hide behind.... You do not create a style. You work, and develop yourself; your style is an emanation from your own being.”
—Katherine Anne Porter (1890–1980)
