Pitching Style
Joe throws a mix of four pitches. His main pitch, a four-seam fastball was once thrown in the mid-to-upper 90s, but now settles between 93 and 96 mph. His main breaking ball is a hard slider in the upper 80s, occasionally even touching 90. He uses the slider less frequently against left-handed hitters, preferring to use a curveball in the low 80s. He also uses a two-seam fastball against lefties. His slider is his best swing-and-miss pitch, with a whiff rate of 42% since 2007.

“As the style of Faulkner grew out of his rage—out of the impotence of his rage—the style of Hemingway grew out of the depth and nuance of his disenchantment.”
—Wright Morris (b. 1910)
