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:
“Each child has his own individual expressions to offer to the world. That expression can take many forms, from artistic interests, a way of thinking, athletic activities, a particular style of dressing, musical talents, different hobbies, etc. Our job is to join our children in discovering who they are.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
