Pitching Style
Porcello is a groundball pitcher who relies on a sinking two-seam fastball. He throws his two-seamer about half the time, ranging from 90–93 mph. He also has a four-seam fastball in the 91–93 range and a changeup in the low 80s which is used mostly on left-handed hitters. Occasionally, he will also throw an upper-70s curveball to left-handed hitters. Porcello's pitching coach Jeff Jones describes the curve as a "change of pace, something that he can throw as a first pitch to a left-handed hitter for a strike."

“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.”
