Pitching Style
Escobar threw an 93–95 MPH four-seam fastball, an 90–92 MPH two-seamer, and a deceptive 83–85 MPH changeup. He had good command of a wide variety of other pitches, including an 79–83 MPH curve, and the occasional 86–88 slider or 85–87 MPH splitter.

Famous quotes containing the word style:
“Everything ponderous, viscous, and solemnly clumsy, all long- winded and boring types of style are developed in profuse variety among Germans—forgive me the fact that even Goethe’s prose, in its mixture of stiffness and elegance, is no exception, being a reflection of the “good old time” to which it belongs, and a reflection of German taste at a time when there still was a “German taste”Ma rococo taste in moribus et artibus.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
